Yes , this does happen , mostly in roll-over or side impacts. Your body is under huge G forces. You slip out from the top or bottom. I had a 86yo turn left in front of me , I had a green light he did not. I hit him at 40mph. My car hit so hard I lifted the rear wheels off the ground and popped a rear tire. I slid down and put my right knee through the dash. Airbags deployed but because I had the seat belt on , it only just touched me in the chest. Car was totaled , a Nissan Sentra. I walked away from the accident ( limping) . When my friends saw the car they could not believe I walked away.

And yes , everything in the car becomes a projectile. Including anyone ( even children in back seat ) will go flying at great speed and can kill you.

But you weren't ejected...because you were wearing your belt.

No , this was a frontal impact. Very different. However , it kept me from serious injury. Kinda failed a bit because I put my knee through the dash , made a hole. If I was not buckled in odds are the airbag would have kept me from going through the windshield.

Safety equipment can only do so much , look at Dale Earnhardt.

Violent rollovers are the worst.

I went to an accident scene once , young girl. High , high rate of speed for the road in question. She was driving an SUV. Slammed into a tree. Just about cut the vehicle in half front to back. She was found a few feet away still strapped into the drivers seat. It had come free from the floorboards. She was DOA. Very sad.

He's doing better, they got him on his feet today, too dizzy to walk good,
200+ people on Vikings site said prayers, thanks!

Awesome news.

One chest tube removed, got a brace for his back

Tactical.20 you must be bad luck everyone you know seems to get In wrecks. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

It's my wife's nephew, I never talk to him if I can avoid it, but he could use prayers.
Curt the one that got hit by semi, he was son's, ex girlfriend's husband, only reason I knew him, my wife kept in contact with her for 25 years, he needed prayers more than Derick, Curt is doing pretty good now

Sent with prayer.

He got all his chest tubes out, back brace on, still real dizzy standing up, getting better

More good news. Keep it coming.

Iam no paramedic.....but I do fix crashed cars for the last 43 years.....and I know ,that people get blown out of their boots,sneakers....upon impact. You alway find boots laced up inside the vehicles.....how strange is that.

I got called out one night with my FD to do an emergency lighting on the interstate. Seems a girl intentionally walked in front of a semi. She was wearing 8" high boots , lace up type , tight to the flesh. They were sitting right on the road where she got hit. Her body was 50 feet away in the grass. I feel bad for the truck driver that had to see/live with that. I've heard of people getting blown right out of work boots when getting electrocuted.

Momentum and impact can do some bad things. Prayers for a speedy recovery
