Story summary
- In a Verity Now study, women are 73% more likely to be injured and 17% more likely to die in car crashes than men.
- The disparity stems from crash test regulations that require male dummies.
- Swedish engineer Dr. Astrid Linder developed the first female crash test dummy to address this issue.
- The dummy uses data from the University of Michigan to improve safety assessments for women in low-severity rear-impact collisions.
