Why are we more likely to bang our knee on the corner of a desk or bed or head when in an enclosed area than to close a car door on our fingers or hit the side of a door against your face when shutting the car door?

Question

Just examples above but what I mean is some accidents seem to occur more often than others.

Answer 1

Probably because there is a lot more space outside. If you step around a desk or bed, you are probably pretty close to it, whereas if you have a table set up outside you can go around it much easier.
Inside there is a much different ratio of walking space to furniture than outside, thus you have a much bigger chance of walking too close to a corner.
