I don’t adjust my seat belt for “comfort”
There are other designs, too - ones that are made specifically for the safety of women.
I don’t adjust my seat belt for “comfort”, except in that I’m very uncomfortable with it being across my throat. I can’t adjust my seat position by very much, because I need to reach the pedals. I slide the seat belt adjuster as low as it will go (and I made sure it adjusted when I test drove the vehicle, because this…
Basically, that there even is a quantifiable difference between men’s and women’s injury rates in car accidents means that there isn’t enough research being done to keep women as safe as men.
Seat belts can be improved. See all race-cars with multi-point harnesses. These will also be tight against some boobs (and undercarriages, if they have an anti-submarine strap). They will also be very safe.
No.
The shitty thing is that there are still a lot of valid criticisms regarding the specific consideration of women’s safety in automobile related injury, but the fact that the female dummy is small doesn’t really have anything to do with that as a larger issue.
I have this problem and I’m 5'6". A well designed car would have a settings to better accommodate that but not all cars do, including my daily driver. How do I solve it? A pillow on the seat. Not only do I see better out of the windscreen but the belt works as designed. :)
Wheels are only telescopable to a point, it’s the pedals that are a problem. I’m only 5'1 and I have short legs, and I have to sit so close to the wheel to reach the pedals, it scares the crap out of me. Even with my wheel pushed all the way back, I’m still right on top of it. In a crash, the airbag will at the very…
Okay, that would still mean women are, in fact, the largest risk category, no?
1. If the current testing is problematic because the “average male” is no longer average, why are the death rates so much higher for women? Shouldn’t current women be closer to the then “average male?” Either the assumption that women’s bodies are effectively no different from men’s for purposes of these tests is…
Women have boobs. Seatbelts are designed for no-boobs. Adjusting it lower doesn’t magically make them designed for boobs.
Same here - I lower the seatbelt connector & crank up the seat height, and the seatbelt still migrates above-boobs instead of between-boobs. And I’m 5'7"!
Have you considered that it’s across their throat even at the lowest setting? There’s a pretty narrow range that those things move, and if you are a very tall or very short person then no belt is going to fit you properly.
If cars are having these features now, that definitely needs to be advertised more, but be sure to notice that the blame here is not with women drivers. Even doing everything possible to sit as far from the steering wheel as physically possible, at 5'1", I’m never going to be able to position myself in a way that’s…
the largest risk category is actually males over the average 1950s male (pretty much everyone).
Even if they wanted to use a larger female dummy, it just doesn’t exist
Every single shoulder belt I wear inevitably winds up across my throat. If I’m ever in an accident I’m probably just going to be strangled in the impact.
