Why can’t humans safely jump out of a moving vehicle?

It’s probably some inertia thing, but that shouldn’t prevent us from being able to land safely, should it?

Okay, imagine you’re going as fast as a car and then you suddenly stop (I guess you could also just imagine a car crash but that has some extra variables and stuff)

That’s what’s happening when you jump out of a moving car. You aren’t moving at your normal jumping speed, you’re moving at your normal jumping speed + the speed of the car

I guess inertia does *technically* play into it but it plays into most physics stuff like that so eh
