Maybe there are fewer women contesting hepthalons compared to men contesting decathlons so any one injury is affecting a larger % of the total?
Does that make sense?

Has anyone studied why (and if, truly) the decathlon would be relatively
harder on women than other events like the steeple, marathon, hurdles,

and heptathletes that would lead me to that conclusion.  If women want
equality across the board, they ought to step up to the plate and take on
the same workload.  [flame suit on]
