According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), vehicles have become safer for occupants over time, in part by providing better protection in crashes. However, certain demographic groups continue to face greater risks of injury or death in crashes. Specifically, research indicates that in crashes with similar conditions, females are at greater risk of death and of certain injury types, such as to the lower legs, than males. In addition, vehicle occupants who are older are at greater risk than those who are younger, and occupants with a higher body mass index face some greater risks than those with a lower index.

NHTSA has taken steps to address limitations in the information dummies provide in crash tests, but gaps remain. NHTSA has supported research into risks faced by demographic groups and has worked to develop technologically advanced dummies, among other efforts. However, these efforts have not fully responded to risks or consistently met milestones. For instance, NHTSA identified greater risks faced by females and older individuals at least two decades ago but has not completed actions to address those risks. NHTSA officials cited several factors for these gaps, including research and other challenges. While these factors contribute, NHTSA does not have a comprehensive plan to address existing risks and limitations in the information dummies provide. Without such a plan, NHTSA may miss opportunities to reduce inequities in crash outcomes among certain demographic groups.

According to NHTSA, about 43,000 people died in vehicle crashes in 2021. Dummies provide information that helps improve the safety of vehicles through federal safety standards and safety ratings. However, the dummies used in NHTSA's crash tests may not adequately represent all demographic groups, including females and older individuals.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act included a provision for GAO to review the dummies used in NHTSA's vehicle safety crash tests. This report examines: (1) differences in risk of injury or death in crashes among certain demographic groups; (2) the extent to which the information dummies provide in crash tests helps mitigate those risks; and (3) steps NHTSA has taken to address any limitations in the information provided by dummies.

GAO reviewed relevant statutes, regulations, studies, and publications; interviewed NHTSA officials and a range of industry stakeholders, including researchers, auto manufacturers, and safety organizations; and evaluated NHTSA's risk management efforts.

Dummies (also known as pacifiers) have long been used by parents who feel they help soothe or settle their baby. Recently some studies have suggested they may reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Research has shown that sucking (e.g. breastfeeding, finger-sucking or dummy use) has a calming and soothing effect on babies, including a reduced response to pain. In addition, since the early 1990s studies have shown that dummy use is associated with a reduced risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), compared with babies who did not use a dummy.

Because of the strong protective effect found in some studies, some authorities now suggest that parents think about using a dummy when settling their baby to sleep. But it is not known how dummies reduce SIDS risk.

Studies have shown that dummy use can have unwanted effects. Some, e.g. Fleming et al., 1999. have found that dummy use can lead to less breastfeeding and earlier weaning from the breast. An up-to-date review of research (Jaafar et al., 2012) found dummies did not cause mothers to stop breastfeeding earlier (up to when their babies were 4 months old) when they were very motivated to breastfeed. However they were not able to say whether or not less motivated mothers might be disadvantaged by dummy use.

Some research has found links between dummy use and tummy and chest infections, and recurrent infections of the middle ear, but the exact relationship betwee dummy use and infections is not yet clear (North et al., 1999) and recurrent infections of the middle-ear (Rovers et al., 2008).

For these reasons, along with the lack of information we have about how dummies work to reduce SIDS, and in which groups of babies they might have most effect, in the UK we do not recommend dummy use as a way of reducing the risk of SIDS.

So far, I have looked through the forums and read posts about changing the css. I went to options-->appearance-->advanced option--> , and tried playing around with a css snippet to change the body font to 1337 pixels. I tried this for both Joplin-wide apps and for rendered markdown. For Joplin wide apps this did not seem to have any effect, even with saving the file and rebooting the app, using several test values for the pixels.

I am hoping someone can help me in a "Joplin preview font for dummies" kind of way, as I have been at this for a bit without success. If I've missed more recent solutions, I could still use a bit of a hand-holding approach, as I've already failed at "just change the css."

Crash test dummies are used in auto safety testing. These dummies vary by height and weight to represent human populations. The 50th percentile male dummy (a dummy modeling the average male body) is most commonly used. A 5th percentile female crash test dummy (representing the smallest 5th percent of the female adult population) was introduced in 1966, but this dummy is simply a scaled version of the 50th percentile male body and does not model female bodies. Still lacking is a 50th percentile female dummy that models female-typical injury tolerance, biomechanics, spinal alignment, neck strength, muscle and ligament strength, dynamic responses to trauma, and other female-typical characteristics. Consequently, women sustain more severe injuries than men in comparable crashes.

The male body is often defined as the norm and serves as the primary object of study. In this case, crash test dummies were first developed in the U.S. to model the 50th percentile man. This means that the female part of the population was left out of the research discovery phase. Inattention to humans of different sex, size, shape, and age may result in unintended harm.

1. Expanding established norms to represent a greater variety of bodies may enhance automotive safety. From the start, automobiles and safety devices should be designed for broad populations, including diversity in age, body weight and height, injury tolerance, and mechanical response to impact for both sexes.

Gendered Innovation 1: Expanding Established NormsNumerous efforts are underway to expand computational models to represent greater diversity of human bodies, such as properly modeled females (sth et al., 2016), elderly and overweight females and males, (Hu et al., 2012), and children (Carter et al., 2014). Still lacking are physical crash dummies to model these populations, with the exception of children (see Method: Rethinking Standards and Reference Models).

Females: Women are involved in fewer severe automobile crashes overall, but when they are involved in a crash, they are more likely to sustain serious injuries, even when using seat belts. National U.S. automotive crash data from 1998 to 2008 revealed that the odds for a belt-restrained female driver to sustain severe injuries were 47% higher than those for a belt-restrained male driver involved in a comparable crash, when controlling for weight and body mass (Bose et al., 2011).

Professor Astrid Linder, Research Director of Traffic Safety at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, has been instrumental in developing the SETs (Seat Evaluation Tools) that model both the geometries of an average male and average female to evaluate the safety of car seats in a low severity rear impact (Karemyr et al., 2022). The SETs could be integrated in the safety testing.


Obese People: The 50th percentile male dummy used in tests today represents the average height and weight of men in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Schneider et al., 1983). Today, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control classify almost 40 percent of Americans as obese (Centers for Disease Control, 2018). People with high Body Mass Index (BMI) are more likely to suffer severe lower extremity and thorax injuries in crashes than people with low BMI (Carter et al., 2014). Data from field tests, cadaver tests, and computational studies have shown that increased body mass causes obese individuals to move forward in a frontal crash, increasing the risk of injury to the thorax and the knee, thigh, and hip complex (Hu et al., 2012). Obese females are more likely to die in vehicle crashes than obese males (Rice & Zhu, 2014).
