Survive a Car Accident as a Pedestrian

So you want to know how to survive a pedestrian/car accident. Read for more info.

Steps

Your head is what you need to protect. Wear a helmet before encountering cars with your body if at all possible.
If you can manage to get your feet slightly off the ground before you manage not to get run over by the vehicle. You will however roll over top of the cab of the vehicle and impact the ground.
Try for the Safety Glass The safety glass in all newer (After the 70's) cars is shatter proof and can acted as a "cushion" absorbing the energy of the impact, breaking the glass and not you. If you can try to roll into a ball with your back/bottom to the glass and your head tucked between your elbows.
No scenario or course of action can do anything more than mitigate the severe trauma that is usually sustained in a pedestrian/vehicle collision. Although there have been a few people to 'walk away' from impacts this is more rare than you think.
At lower speeds you can attempt go onto the hood and over the cab on foot. This is probably the best way if your are expecting it - or if you are being targeted by the driver. This will be less successful on larger vehicles.
Think about your move and the fact that you will probably be injured no matter what you might have done.
Do not give up.

Tips

Carry health insurance.
Look both ways before crossing - even at green lights and walk signs - every time.
Use common sense.
Don't expect a driver to stop when you walk out into the street when there is a green light. They will not be expecting you coming and might not hit the brakes in time.
Don't listen to your iPod/MP3 player when crossing a road as then you might not hear a crucial toot of a horn. A toot that could save your life.
Be aware of your surroundings. See where vehicles are and judge what you can do. Do you have time to jump out of the way?
don't act stupidly when you are walking or riding your bicycle.

Warnings

Watch out for cars whenever you walk, run, etc. Anywhere where there might be a car. Just try to keep your wits about you!
