If a car's heading straight at you... - Page 2

I would jump into a near-fetal position to protect my head and torso.

It would really also depend on the model of the car that's trying to hit you. Some have really long flat hoods that almost look like they were purposely built large enough to be jumped on.

---

Also, a lot of cars I've seen have a small "space" that the hood doesn't cover which is where the windshield wipers are. My depiction isn't very good, but, you can see what I'm talking about. My hands are small enough that I could grab onto that like a handle, so as long as I made it onto the car, I should be fine if he/she brakes suddenly.

Dodge it fast.

**Yvgeniy** · 10-18-2008, 02:11 AM

No, not possible. I'd say anything above 15MPH is pretty much impossible to pull off.

goodboy5 · 10-18-2008, 03:51 AM

Than i'll just get hit.

Over is better than under, but either way its gonna hurt. I've been hit by a car goin 20ish once, pedestrians +10 points at night time. Broke the windshield, suxed.

*has been ran over before* but not straight on , More like from the very edge at the front. Car ran over my foot and broke my leg. GOOD TIMES

Do you think it's possible to avoid getting hurt at all if, say, you found yourself in a position where a car is heading straight at you, and you can't move perpendicularly out of the direction it's heading it quickly enough, so you jump on its hood and keep your balance when its braking so you don't get thrown off by the inertia?

*in b4 try it and see*

jump as high as you can so you roll over the bonnet and car.

At the moment of impact your effectively accelerating from your jumping speed to that of the car plus, and in contrast to your own speed. Any attempt to stop and land on the hood would be like hitting a wall at that speed.

The only thing you could really do would be to run the same directions of the car, and try to land with your knees as close to locked as physically possible and then go into the deepest bend you possibly could. It'll bring out your acceleration at a slowing pace.
