"The crashworthiness improvements of recent years have resulted in particularly big benefits to women. We need to speed up this progress while being careful not to derail it," write IIHS's Jessica Jermakian.

A recent IIHS study found similar results – modern crash testing has done a good job of closing this gap. However, more work is needed to understand why women are still at elevated risk of leg injuries in crashes, and how that can be addressed. go.iihs.org/news-injury-risk

🎥 Our dummies don't just roll out of bed looking this good. An important step in crash test prep is applying greasepaint to the dummies to help identify where contact is made with vehicle surfaces during the crash.

Cell phone use isn't the only distracting behavior that people engage in behind the wheel. Eating, drinking, adjusting the radio and even talking to a passenger can all be distracting.

Why is vehicle choice so important for your teen driver? Teens crash at rates nearly four times those of older drivers by mile traveled. Make sure your teen is driving something with the latest crashworthiness. Here are our updated recommendations: go.iihs.org/SafeVehiclesTeen…

In crash tests at 50 and 56 mph, the steering wheel’s upward movement caused the dummy’s head to go through the deployed airbag, causing the face to smash into the steering wheel. Read more on this test series: go.iihs.org/news-speed-incre…

Parents & teachers: the "Momentum Bashing 2" activity at IIHS-HLDI in the Classroom is a great way to explore how changes in velocity change an object's momentum. Videos and activity sheets can be found here: classroom.iihs.org/momentum-… x.com/IIHS_autosafety/status…

Going a little bit faster might save a few minutes on a trip, but crashing at a slightly higher speed can make a big difference in your car's ability to provide adequate protection. Read more on our new study with @AAANews: go.iihs.org/news-speed-incre…
