How to Bail Out of a Car at High Speeds
Look for the best place to bail out.
Try to bail out into a body of water or into foliage. Failing that, drive as close to the curbside as possible to avoid leaping into traffic.
Unbuckle your seatbelt.
Steer the car with one hand as you unbuckle the seatbelt with the other. Bring the lap and chest belts fully clear of your body to avoid entanglement.
Tuck your chin.
Close your mouth tightly and angle your neck down until your chin rests on your breastbone.
Brace your feet.
Remove both feet from the pedals and place them squarely on the floorboards of the vehicle, in front of the pedals.
Open the door.
In one swift movement, grasp the door handle and fling open the door of the vehicle.
Spring out of the car.
As soon as the door is completely open, push against the floor of the car with both feet to throw your body upward and outward from the car.
Cross your arms.
With each hand, grab the opposite shoulder tightly, keeping your arms across your chest.
Land and roll.
As you hit the ground, roll as far from the car as possible, to avoid your rear wheels and other cars.
