>Unaccounted for are the varying bone densities, muscle structures, and abdominal and chest physiologies that differentiate women from a male dummy. For example, the neck musculature of an average woman contains far less column strength and muscle mass than a man’s, making women 22.1% more likely to suffer a head injury than men

It seems to me that there are two possible root causes (assuming the vehicle is constant, i.e. not from women driving smaller cars):

1. The crash test and vehicle designs are optimized around average male physiology 2. average female physiology would be more at-risk of injury and death regardless of crash test design/vehicle design

I'd like to know more about how much each of these factors contribute. The article does not make this clear.
