FEMALE CRASH DUMMIES
DESCRIPTION: Although auto companies are required to crash-test their vehicles before they roll off the assembly line, the dummies used in the testing are from the 1970s and don’t account for anatomical differences between men and women. A female crash victim has started an organization to lobby Congress and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to upgrade the standards, and Sen. Deb Fischer, a Nebraska Republican, has sponsored legislation the past two congressional sessions aimed at requiring a more modern female crash dummy. President Donald Trump’s transportation department has included $28.5 million in its 2026 budget request to aid the research.
