A while ago we had a thread (back in June 2019, apparently) on the lack of female crash dummies. It seems to have vanished now, and I can't add this link to it, so here it is.

"THE CRASH DUMMY THAT IS PROTECTING WOMEN DRIVERS"
The dummy that is sometimes used as a proxy for women is a scaled-down version of the male one, roughly the size of a 12-year-old girl.
At 149cm tall (4ft 8ins) and weighing 48kg (7st 5lb), it represents the smallest 5% of women by the standards of the mid-1970s.
However, a team of Swedish engineers has finally developed the first dummy, or to use the more technical term - seat evaluation tool - designed on the body of the average woman.
Their dummy is 162cm (5ft 3ins) tall and weighs 62kg (9st 7lbs), more representative of the female population."
