women usually being built a bit more ‘delicately’ than men are more likely to be injured by blunt-force trauma than a man, no matter the size of the car being wrecked.

You beat me to it. Women do not have the same upper-body strength that men have. They do not have anywhere near the sturdiness in the neck area, for example, and thus are more prone to suffer neck and vertebrae injuries.

MY 1976 1 ton Chevy dually truck will win the game of “The Law of Gross Weight”. Your plastic car will be totaled.

My wife drives a 4WD F150. I’m glad she has the extra metal wrapped around her.

#1 cause of MVA deaths? Distracted driving.

We see it all the time even with our limited driving during the pandemic.

Per NHTSA, it’s drunk driving, not distracted.
