Apparently the people complaining about female crash test dummies don't realize women have different physical characteristics! You should talk to them!

I have always thought people convicted of certain heinous crimes should be used as a test crash dummy.

I know nothing about this, so I'll ask for you to explain why this is or isn't a good idea or a reasonable consideration. What does data and research say?
