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?

Imagine the pain you feel when you are simply walking and then faceplant on your face.

Now, imagine that same exact fall but you aren’t walking and instead traveling at 10-20x the speed. You’re hitting the ground with a lot of energy.

Now people with training (and protecting clothing) can tuck and roll effectively. But it definitely not a normal skill everyone has.
