- A team of Swedish engineers have developed the first crash test dummy designed on the body of the average woman.
Since the 1970s, crash test dummies - mechanical surrogates of the human body - have been used to determine car safety.
The technology is used to estimate the effectiveness of seatbelts and safety features in new vehicle designs.
Until now the most commonly used dummy has been based on the average male build and weight.
Women represent about half of all drivers and are more prone to injury in like-for-like accidents.

I want to see a report in ten years to see if this dummy helped reduce whiplash in women.
I can't believe it took this long to think of this.
We are Animals. We don't think. We see and copy with improvements
@@Stevexnycautomotive Don't insult Animals please.
it didn't. they had nothing else to propagandist you with
i know. i saw this and thought “lmao we didn’t have this already???”
Probably because it's taken this long for a female engineer to head a safety design-team!
I don't get how they get the seatbelt to stay right in the center of their chest. I can't do that real life.
Are you telling me that men and woman bodies are different!? no way wow -.-
of course and that's the point here
Y'all taking this equality thing too far.... protecting women??! What's next do you guys want them to be able to vote?!
Don't give these looneys ideas.
BBC admitted men and women are different 😂 how about that
Hey wait, that's not a dummy!
THIS EXHIBIT IS CLOSED!!!
Fourth Reich Motors, Since 1946!
FINALLY! I'm epileptic from a seat belt not protecting me in the back seat of a car crash
it is really hard to tell exactly who the dummies are in this video.
Probably has taken this long because it's only now that a female engineer is leading a safety design-team!
Please, dont blurt things without sources
@@otakin04the op said “probably” everybody can guess
It's almost like men and women are different. Who would have thought of that?
Maybe next we will have seat belts that are designed to fit women. A seat belt that cuts across your neck instead of your chest does not seem very safe.
I wonder how long it will take for that to happen!:)
@@bergamo765 We need crash test dummies for shorter people and lighter people.
@@bergamo765 And while biology does not determine gender, most men are bigger than most women, so the sexist bias in crash test dummies is real.
@@VeganDorisAnd what about teenagers or fat people?
👏 It’s 👏 About 👏 Damn 👏 Time 👏
It took how many years for this!?!??!
yeahhh it s about time ; humanity is now safe ,by making female dummies ..woohooo
@@TheLionEric I dunno, 80?
Now learn how to drive
So much stupidity and sexism…
She can shift with her flower pot..🤣🤣🤣👈
So, now we can speak plainly of an anatomy that is specifically male and female?
You guys never cease to amaze me. My forehead hurts.
Ya cuz that’s the point of the video
lol you're a loser
Wow, are women supposed to feel thrilled by this very belated feature?
What of pharmaceuticals only tested on men as well?
Um...women were excluded from drug trials and clinical research until 1993. Now they make up approximately 2-3% of research participants! A drug called Addyi designed to improve female sexual dysfunction was recently tested and cleared using statistical data from 23 men and 2 women. I don't know how you test female sexual dysfunction with male subjects but I'm not a doctor. And apparently neither was anyone who cleared the project.
This is the way everything in - at least western civilization- society. Like how anomalies in health are defined. All after a young healthy male. This is why hospitals even now struggle with how to recognise and treat women's heart disease, bc everything (like EKG, drug doses and treatments) is different from the "normal" - male - way. I'm, as a Swedish person, happy this car crash dummie business is straightening up in Sweden. but did it have to take this long time for the car industry to think clearly? Volvo, Saab, guys? You started your businesses in Sweden so many decades ago? You used to be all for saftey?
Yet women still have a longer life expectancy than men. And women still aren't subject to conscription. Settle down, feminist, the world shelters you an awful lot.
Wait ate you telling me that there is a difference n gender is not a social construct?
We have had female test dummy for years, the latest one is THOR-5F, which also can be used for much more effective testing than this more basic dummy type. Welcome to BBC propaganda.
Thor? Not Thora?
Their website says it is not yet validated. It isn’t even clear whether or not the Swedish team is actually working on the very same dummy… odd
"Today, it's becoming well known that the current staple of female crash test dummies are not representative of the unique physiology of women. We desperately need to consider the risks that are characteristic for women and design test dummies around that criterion."
Youre just a lunatic.
@@alvaro701 Ok I am confused, are you calling me a lunatic? "the THOR-5F advanced female frontal impact dummy. She’s designed from actual female anthropometry data, which means she has a female form, not that of her male counterpart.". In what way am I mentally derainged? Apologies if I have not understood your comment.
Volvo has been testing with a female crash test dummy since 1995. The bone structure is distinctive and the way the body reacts in an accident is different for men, women, and children.
These dummy's have been around for ever... there called HUSBAND'S!!!.🤔😂😂😂
If they need a real dummy, I'm willing to donate my ex-wife
ㅎㅎㅎ from korea
What the hell were they doing all this time testing just male dummies?
Because they were never "male dummies" in the first place. They've been designed to cover both sexes ( don't get smart ) because one day a woman might be driving the same car as a man the next. They've been designed to protect everyone.
@@notjustforhackers4252 And yet when you compare them they far more resemble males than females hence the need for female Test Dummies, they've been Gathering data for 60 years about this.... And they still thought it was necessary, so please don't go on that the original was supposed to be a mish of both. If that really worked we wouldn't need a female test dummy!
No such thing as a 'male dummy.' There are only dummies.
@@notjustforhackers4252 Nonsense. Can't test it for both genres with one dummy.
@@alvaro701 Can't build a mass production car seat that is 100% optimal for everyone, regardless of gender, age, height or weight, so no it's not "nonsense", thinking otherwise sure is.
Imagine the outburst if the genders were reversed
Oh yay, it’s only 2020-whatever
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE WTF?????
They did. The "Hybrid III" family of crash test dummies had a "male", a "female" which was shorter and lighter, in 1976, and later child-sized dummies were added.
The *really* scary thing about these crash test dummies is that they have more spontaneous life in them than Rishi Sunak!
CRASH TEST DUMMY FOR PM!!!
at least they’ll survive their downfall…. and probably bounce back straight into government.
I wonder if they look at an average for women across the world, not just Sweden (since I’d guess Swedish women are not exactly representative or at the average of women across the world…).
Why makes you guess that?
@@Gossamear I'm thinking of height, which might affect bone/muscle structure and forces involved in whiplash.
@@tandago7281 compared to what? Asian women? African women? Women from the rest of Europe? Why do you think proportions of Swedish women differ so much from women all over the world that it makes a notable difference in whiplash injuries!?
@@Gossamear As I said, compared to women across the world. Height is exactly one of the rationales they use in this video to have a female dummy to begin with. So, if this dummy is made to correct for female height, then I think it it makes sense to correct for female height as females exist on Earth, not just for female height that is specific to the country that makes the dummy. I didn't say "so much", I said "might". No sure why the drama over a hypothesis.
@@tandago7281 no drama at all! I’m just really curious about your assumptions on Swedish females since approximate Swedish female height lines up with approximate universal female heights. In your original comment I thought you made it sound like there’s an obvious difference between Swedish females and females from all over the world, which is something I’m not familiar with, so I wonder what you think that difference is.
Where’s the first non-binary crash test dummy?
So all they added was boobs.🤣 You can't make this stuff up🤣
Are women's seatbelts going to be different now?
But they say “there are dummies of different weights, ages, and sizes”. Would of them not also be close to an “average female”?
The safety of 50% of the population shouldn't be down to "screw it, close enough"
She mentioned there are differences in how men and women are built that can affect the potential injuries in a vehicle crash. I know she mentioned women have lower muscle strength. I can’t remember if she mentioned different bone structure. The industry already acknowledges there are differences in the rate of some injuries between men and women, so building a dummy to reflect their anatomical difference makes sense.
@@DanielThomasHutton What do you think Crash Test Dummies are? Exact replicas of every male? No, they are averages. An average man, and average woman, and average children. All of which have been around for decades.
@@kev3d Either all the news coverage of "first female crash test dummy" has been extremely misleading or you are wrong.
@@kev3dThe weight distribution is different though, you do understand that right? Women are not just lighter, smaller versions of men…..we both carry weight differently.
Completely fails to explain why they differ to normal crash dummies.
It's about time!! 😠🧡
What a load of twaddle..
Are people too stupid to generalize between the male style Crash test dummy and the twelve-year-old. .. I bet the average in between would be correct for females. But no, let's make a big deal about it. And act like we're doing something.
bbc didn't need all these to sell mg suv cars worldwide but sold many
that's very gender specific
How about making some black or asian crash test dummies too?
And all the other genders!
surely that signoff could have been phrased better
Then again, what is a woman?
Someone who will pass on dating anyone who is still asking that question.
I thought the BBC said there are no biological differences between men and women?
Wait....what?
And this is news?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha the bbc employees are mad.
So, you're gonna need a specially designed car for men, another for women, another for obese people...
Welcome to clown world.
you bit the onion
Whoa there! Slow down! You meand to tell me women tend to be smaller and have weaker muscles? Things that make you go hmmm.
What about fat people?
they should walk instead, could use the exercise
What is a Woman?
So there’s no physical characteristics?
Since a man can identify as a woman . Why don’t they use make crash dummies and simply identify them as female crash dummies
How can they tell if the dummy is male or female??
The dummy is the height of an average male. There's a difference of about 6 inches in height of an average male and average female.
The safest place behind the wheel for a women
Is directly behind the wheel
With a man in between them
if you can't change the tire you can't drive xD
I thought gender was a social construct?
Sex is biological. “Gender” = 🤷♂️ what are they saying, today?
boi westerners have really fallen deep .. what nonsense you r talking about xD ?
@@u.synlig Depends on who 'they' is.
It literally is.
But Men and women are equal aren't they? 😂
Crash Test Dummy wife 🤣
Ridiculous.
How?
They probably have the same intelligence and driving ability of the average woman too.
When you don't have anymore problems, simply invent one.
It is interesting that brain injuries are not a problem for you.
Crash test: mental asylum! True story!
Strange so men and women are different hahahahahaha the left must hate this
More likely to be injured when hit from behind.
that s what she sai- oh wait wrong comment
What about male crash test dummies that identify as female crash test dummies? 😉
so in short they made a more fragile dummy
Maybe women shouldn’t drive cars 🤷🏻♂️
Use all the trans women
Sorry, what is a woman?
. How sad
Will they be testing automatics driven while putting lippy on
In Sweden we mostly drive manual and we don't sit in car lines all day like in the US.
a subtle way to say women cant drive XD
🙄Because women were just invented...............
Whats the point? If they test with several dummies there r several weights and heights, so its so useless
But what if the crash test dummy identifies as female?
Great. Finally.
Transphobic?
What is a woman? What about trans women? Does this protect all genders?
Can the bbc please move onto the "duty of care" for crash test cats and dogs next time...
Yeah, women, dogs and cats are the same category, right?
Nyc to make dummy
How about a cheaper alternative? Simply don't let women ride in a car. There, fixed. Now, where do I claim my money for this groundbreaking solution?
Afghanistan
Whist about other sex?
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Wow this is a very transphobic video
?
But nature has already equipped them with shock absorbing parts
wouldnt any dummy do this job, if they are prepared with "weaker" guidelines, to accomodate a lighter build person?! i mean, does a dummys boobs really make a diference?!
seems unnescessary, honestly to sink money into this, instead of just building better universal adjustable dummys overall for the whole range of human bodys!
That’s a testable hypothesis
Kinetic energy doesn't know sex or discrimination. Neither does velocity, or foot-pounds of energy.
The would has gone insane.
You clearly didn't watch the video. Difference in height (about six inches between the average man and the average woman) is going to matter in terms of how/if you are injured.
@@neverforever4787 they've been testing female, crash test male dummies and children since the 1960s. So maybe you better take your opinion down the road.
@@paulb9769 No but it would change airbag size/placement as well as seatbelt length/placement.
@@neverforever4787 So basically gender specific cars. Dumb idea.
I thought men and women are equal?
So men don't crash?
Men have more crashes, and more severe ones.
This is why in some countries, car insurance for women is cheaper than for men (male premium designed by male actuarial scientists).
Women most affected.
What is a woman?
You have been spending way too much time gaming!
@@stevie-ray2020 lol
Thanks for the laugh!
@@zz-if1icyes, but what is a woman?
@@stevie-ray2020why would you say that? It's a legitimate question!
@@neilwheel Because it's pretty clear that you don't have much relation with other humans to ask such a thing.
Or this just you trying to cope.
So this is why feminist movement is fumbling and a waste
Hahaha unbelievable. Could it be that women are physically weaker and more frail and that's why they get injured more? If I step on a bug and it dies and then I step on a dog and it lives does that prove that shoe designers have an anti bug bias?
Haa...you didnt get it. Women physically weaker yeah yeah... in crash, thats not the point. Its about the structure of the seat, car, airbag etc. that endangers a person of lighter build. Short kings have those 13% more likely to die in an accident too as women have.
If we truly feel we need crash dummies to represent women, let's have a conversation about why grown men shouldn't play in women's sports.
Why do y’all always change the subject Women dying in car crashes is because of lack of representation is more important
Good thing that isn't happening? Or is this about your weird obsession with transgender people?
It was about time.
How so?
Первый
What rubbish
Why?
@@kentknightofcaelin4537 it makes no sense why is woman more likely to be injured in a that crash scenario than I am? I have the same parts in my kneck so?????
@@pandora50 Men got stronger muscles and bones so men are actually better off in a crash.
@@pandora50 Of course you know more than the experts.
We need you to solve other things too. Why have you hid yourself from the world, master?
