Pass the donuts, please
Men who are overweight have a higher chance of surviving a car crash if they’re wearing a safety belt, a University of Michigan study found.
The U-M Transportation Research Institute study found men who were overweight had a 22 percent lower chance of being killed in a fatal crash than men who are underweight.But the opposite was true if overweight weren’t buckled in. According to the study, men with a body mass index between 35 and 50 were 10 percent more likely to be killed in an auto accident.
