I assume the numbers are even worse for very obese people and exceptionally tall people. Are obese dummies in use?

- bhelkey 4y agoThe tallest NHTSA crash dummy currently in service is 5'9" and 171 pounds [1]. [1] https://www.nhtsa.gov/nhtsas-crash-test-dummies https://www.nhtsa.gov/nhtsas-crash-test-dummies
- necovek 4y agoTall people (I am 195cm/6'5") generally require bigger cars to fit in (European D segment vehicles like BMW 3 series or Honda Accord are basically a small city car with barely usable rear seats when I am driving), and bigger cars have bigger mass. Hopefully electric cars with large cabins like IONIQ 5 are a start of fixing this :) Which is only to point out that types of vehicles would be correlated for people on extremes, and certainly a type of vehicle matters for crash survivability on average.
