The Incredible Crash Dummies is a platform game developed by Gray Matter and released in 1993. It was published by Acclaim. It is available on Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Super Famicom, Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Amiga.

Since the character isn’t handicapped by missing limbs in any way, in practical terms you can think of these as hit points especially as there are screwdrivers to pick up which restore one limb.
