But there are far more serious consequences. A 2011 study found that airbags and seat belts are designed primarily for male bodies—meaning women wearing seat belts are 47 percent more likely to sustain injuries in a crash.
This may be lowest common denominator though? Choosing airbag injuries for women over more serious crash injuries for larger men? They’re also biased for people not wearing seatbelts I’ve heard, even though doing that increases airbag-induced injury rates as well.
