Let’s Go Brandon - Parte Tres

Since you asked @nail1988

We all agree that men are different from women?

They have different average height, average weight, musculature and some fairly different skeletal structure in the pelvic area.

That's why we don't want men playing in women's sports, these differences.

Currently the only required testing is done with male dummies.

These dummies are very sophisticated in terms of sensing everything from musculature to joint flexibility and bone stiffness.

It stands to reason that an average man and an average woman will sustain different injuries from the same crash.

I don't think the government should be paying for it I think it should be gradually phased in.

I also hope they will be building a better seat for everyone and not specific seats for every tall short thin fat man or woman.

I'm not an expert on crash test dummies. I'll get that out of the way from the jump.

What is a male crash test dummy?

Aren't these dummies more designed to simulate average adult humans, period? That's what I've always believed but perhaps I've been wrong.

Crash test dummy that simulates a human that is 6 foot tall and weighs 180 pounds with sensors to match is more likely to show injuries sustained to me in a car crash than my niece who is five eight and 110 pounds.

When they made these things in the 70s all they tested were front and rear end impacts on seat belts.

Now they test crumple zones, front, side and curtain airbags, variable seat belts (apparently seat belts now lock up at different speeds depending on how fast the vehicle decelerates, who knew) and some other engineering standards I'm not entire familiar with.

If a 1800 pound vehicle hits a wall at 60 Mph it will decelerate to zero at a certain speed in a certain amount of time but everyone in the vehicle wont based on mass.

I assumed they had separate dummies to simulate different sized people, at least child woman and man, but apparently they don't and in the US and EU they only require testing on one type.

This tracks because the US motorcycle helmet safety standard is the crappiest one in the world because it only requires impact test from one angle and height.

To speak of this in terms of gender equality is idiotic.

If the goal is to make a seat that protects everyone better in 2023 than 1970 then that at least makes sense.

Cmon now dude.

Have you ever taken a rock to the head while riding? I had a gravel truck kick a rock up on I10 last year that cracked the eff out of my windshield at eye level, had to get the entire thing replaced. I can't imagine getting hit like that without a helmet, even with a helmet it could cause a crash.

I've had a bird hit me and I've been in two wrecks, one that was chronicled on the board in 2010, I have no idea why people dress for comfort and not safety but it's a free country.

That rock between the eyes was kind of a "come to jesus moment" and I don't even ride a bike. Do you have a face shield?

I just checked and the dummies average 5'9 and 170lbs. That's certainly bigger than the average woman.

My best guess is that the standard was designed a long time ago and the larger mass was figured to be more inclusive, not less.

Agree, the gender equity angle is just incredibly stupid and strategically, if you wanted to simply improve testing, this is the exact opposite way one would go.

OTOH, if you were making a political move and you're a guy pretty much universally despised outside of the extreme left of the left, this makes more sense.

The left is obsessed with gender, they wall want to point at science for their secular beliefs but won't look at basic biology. Everything these days is gender, color and social status and the truth is they only want equality for certain groups. The only want freedom of religion for some. If you're Christian or white you're terrible.

If they don't like something or someone they call race, gender or equality...it's preposterous.
 
The Pant's Shitter in chief is leading this country into utter destruction. Here they come again. :mad:

 

So let me guess....does that mean the illegal aliens will be asked their sexual orientation, and if they claim to be gay, they won't be detained?

So IN THEORY, the left could seed gang members and drug runners in with the other illegals, and tell them to identity as gay, so they won't be detained?

Huh. It's almost like there's some evil larger plan here that I can't fathom.

Luckily it's difficult to transit a desert, a river and then another desert while wearing heels and an evening gown. 😉
