In automotive collisions, the child’s head is the body area most frequently and most seriously involved. In a study of children’s injury patterns in 14,520 rural automobile accidents involving 31,925 occupants, it was found that children (birth through 11 years) had a frequency of 77% head injuries (Moore et al, 1959). This was a much greater frequency than either adolescents (69%) or adults (70%) in this study, although it was found that child head injuries were of a more minor variety than either adolescents or adults. Agran and Winn (1987) identified head injuries in 50% of children, either lap-shoulder belted or unrestrained. Contributing to specific head impact problems are the large head of the child, the relatively soft, pliable, and elastic bones of the cranial vault, and the fontanelles. As compared with the adult, these features make the head of the child less resistant to impact trauma. In a collision, for example, the unrestrained child, because of his large head and high CG, would ‘lead with his head’. Crash data covering infants and children up to 4 years of age indicate that 77% of those who were injured in automobile accidents had head injuries (Kihlberg and Gensler, 1967). The vulnerability to injury of an infant’s head occurs even prior to birth, as has recently been shown in a study of fetal deaths involving restrained and unrestrained pregnant women in auto accidents (Crosby et al, 1968). The reasons for this greater frequency of head injury in children can be demonstrated both anatomically and biomechanically. The child’s head is proportionately larger than in the adult (Young, 1966). (Fig. 5). This heavier head mass and resulting higher seated CG in young children, coupled with weaker neck supporting structures, may be, in part, the basis for this higher frequency of head injury.
I did a very quick Google and this came up, I realise it's talking about car accidents but it does seem to disagree with your assertion.
