Why are obese drivers more likely to die in a car crash than lean drivers?

[Rozzy]

I thought rolls of fat would cushion obese drivers reducing injury and death, but that's not the situation.

They're heavier so more momentum.

 

[George Lucas]

They’re unhealthy. The body has to work several orders of magnitude harder just to stay alive.

 

[Jarl Varg]

They're probably stuffing their snouts while driving, thus distracted.

 

[Hongourable Madisha]

Because they deserve it.

 

[We Are The Witches]

In such accident, their bodies are not "cushions", they're bigger targets, so the opposite.

Turns out humans are not cartoons.

Source?

Fat people are niggers

 

[hl2_linux]

couldn't their excess fat deploy outwards and fill the car and act like a shock absorber for their (already failing) vital organs?

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

They fat, lol lmao fat hahahaha fatty, hoo big big doody fat fat lol, their bmi is "OFF THE SCALES" LMAO HA DUMB FAT STUPID DUMB BIG FAT DUMB FAT PERSON.

But no, it's probably because, if they don't care about any other aspect of their life, why would they care about driving?

[stares at error messages]

Slower reaction times. Too fat.

I'd assume they might have more trouble getting out of the results of an accident that might otherwise not kill someone, which could either increase the amount of time before potentially life-saving care can be provided at the bare minimum, or potentially just trapping them, compounded by the fact that the fatter you are, the harder it is for medical science to save you if they do get you out.

Also the chances of something like the shock of a more serious accident causing a cardiac event are probably higher in the obese.
