There might be a time when the choice of jumping out of a moving vehicle might be less dangerous than if you remained in the car. If you were kidnapped, or even if you knew the driver, he might not allow you to leave the car, and was a threat to your life. This might harm you, but it might also save your life.


Steps

1. Look out for any possible soft landing spots such as grass or soft dirt. Recognizing that you will be moving at the speed of your car, time your jump to roll into the best spot possible.
2. Open the door and make sure it doesn't close on you in the middle of the jump.
3. Angle your body forwards and to the side. You want to aim in a direction that will take you away from the car and other traffic. Do not aim behind the direction of the vehicle.
4. Jump out body first. Try to keep your head and arms tight to your body.
5. Make sure you roll. You don't want to belly-flop onto a road.

Tips

• Make sure that you jump out facing the direction the vehicle is moving, so you don't flip onto your side or back. Jumping backwards will flip you over at 55 miles per hour or whatever speed you are traveling.

Warnings

• This will hurt.
• You may be seriously injured or killed.
• The only time you should consider doing this is when consequences of not jumping are worse than what could happen if you do jump.
• This is for emergency use only!!!
