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?

The same thing that prevents you from safely landing after being shot out of a cannon. Jumping out of a moving car means you’re moving at the same speed as the car when you jump out. Human bodies aren’t designed to move at car speeds, but you need to get rid of that extra speed somehow, which in this case involves your bones breaking and your skin being cut up to get rid of that excess energy.
