Is there any evidence for that? I know that for example women are more likely to be injured in car crashes because most car seats/interiors are designed around the average man so if be surprised if a human half didn't need to be raised or put in a safer position.

Don’t men get in more accidents?
Yes, because seatbelts are so effective for us, it turns out there is no selective pressure avoid car crashes.
I didn't know that about seatbelts. All these years of careful driving have been wasted on me.
It only looks that way because we get in more on-purposes.
So your "evidence" is a single anecdotal account from over a decade ago?

Actual accident data doesn't back you up...
