The key point is that in the same situation, women are more likely to be injured from what I understand.

Maybe they were injured instead of killed?

It does sound somewhat dodgy, though; as it implies they throw out the fatality data. Would love to see the data.

More men than women die conditional on being in a crash, because men tend to be involved in more severe crashes. But in crashes "of similar severity" women tend to be more severely injured than men. One confounding variable is the size of the vehicle, but it may be factored into the "similar severity" calculation.
