How would you minimise damage?

>> No.3697822

jump over the car.

>> No.3697830

crouch jump

or lay really flat and hope tires don't hit you.

Take off my pants and spread eagle. My butthole would absorb the car

Would running in the same direction as the car reduce the amount of force you feel on impact?

>> No.3697846

Depends on the vehicle. If it's a huge SUV then perhaps I could drop to the ground and hope my skull isn't crushed by the fender or that the driver doesn't swerve and squash me. If it is closer to a sedan with the hood below my center of mass then I would loosen up and perhaps jump to make sure I hit the hood and/or windshield as opposed to the grill. In any case I would cover my head with my arms.

I don't think I heard you right.

At what angle?
>>3697830
ctrl+space. Got it.
Isn't there a risk of kneeing yourself in the face and doing some srs damage?
>>3697834
Not sure if you'd have time. If it were a truck then this would probably be wise though

Fun, but I'm tripfagging.

Yes, it would. I don't know if you could accelerate fast enough for it to have a noticable effect though.

>>3697846
Good advice sir.

I would be tanked silly on Johnny Walker black. Drunk people are indestructible.

>> No.3697868

>>3697844
Yes, but I would imagine there isn't enough time to get much speed given that you don't have enough time to get out of the way. I also believe the more awkward form of running would lead to much greater injury when the car hits in comparison to readying your form for the collision using the short time available.

>> No.3697877

i think you're supposed to adjust yourself so that you can properly roll yourself onto the hood when it hits you.

I think I'd rather have full limb usage than hefty settlement. Or at least, arm usage.

Electric wheelchairs are fun though, I could cope.

>>3697865
IIRC, there's evidence to suggest that being on depressants/muscle relaxants does help a fair amount in a car accident.

>> No.3697894

>>3697868
This, I can see there being a risk of shins snapping.

Perhaps if you jumped 45 degrees from the direction the car is heading? Hopefully then you could reduce the impact and get yourself out of a position in which you'll almost certainly be run over.

lol this actually happened to me. i got hit by an F-250 going about 35. the correct answer is look away and try not to scrape your face on the pavement while you land two lanes over in oncoming traffic. and hope that there are no cars coming.

For sadan
Lean forward roll the momentum from your body starting from shoulder all the way down to legs depending on angle choose which side you want to fly off from, this is how stuntmen do it , usually it's less speed and all the stuff is pre practiced.

For semi hit the deck and pray.
For a motor cycle do like the bull fighters turn and step.
Joke: For a Prius swat at it.
