Literally the first sentence in the article says, "Compared to men, women are 17 percent more likely to die in a car crash and 73 percent more likely to sustain serious injuries in a front-end collision."
- jefftk 4y agoThe article does say that, but the article is simplifying. If you click through they're citing https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/811766 https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/... which says 17% "given similar physical insults". But conditional on being in a crash is not the same thing as conditional on being in a crash of a given severity.
