 The Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute has begun using a traffic collision mannequin that is proportioned with narrower shoulders and wider hips.

A 2019 study from the University of Virginia found that  “women are 73% more likely than men to be injured in the event of a frontal collision.⁠” @npr
