Summary

women are 73% more likely to be injured and 17% more likely to die in a vehicle crash. Part of the problem is that test dummies modeled on the average female body are rarely used in safety tests by car manufacturers – because only “male” dummies are mandated for tests.   Pardon My American podcast (PMA) is an opinion-based podcast that explores politics, entertainment, paranormal, and culture all while having a good laugh. They keep things lighthearted as they dive into subjects that inspire you to think and ask questions.   Support Our Sponsors ► Aura ► Ghostbed ► Fum   Support Our Show ► Website ► Buy Merch ► Patreon   Watch & Follow Our Show ► YouTube ► Rumble ► Rokfin ► Instagram ► Telegram Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
