I see. So women are bad at walking in snow. This is my takeaway.

Did you even read it? The investigation found that women were more likely to trip chain (i.e. take multiple stops on their daily journeys that required exiting the car). E.g. leave work, pick up dry cleaning, pick up kids from school, drop them off at extracurricular activities. They were also found to do more walking in the vicinity of the home. More time spent walking means greater chances you will slip and fall.
