There were cars back in the 70-80s that had adjustable shoulder belts that allowed you to lower the height of the belt where it's attached to the door jamb pillar behind the seat, but it's been a long time since I've seen a car with that feature.

This is just crazy: "a woman is 17 percent more likely to die ... and 73 percent more likely to be seriously injured in a vehicle crash"

Both cars I have allow to do that. I can't be absolutely sure, but I want to say that I don't remember a car without height adjustable shoulder belt.

That's good to know.

Honestly, I've not paid much attention to cars for a very long time, but I have checked for that feature on the few I've owned and driven over the past 20 years and very few of them have had it.

These adjustable shoulder belts still exist and are being manufactured today
