I jumped out of a moving car once. I was a freshman in highschool and a buddy of mine was givin me a ride home with a few other friends. They said they weren’t gonna slow down for my house, so going about 40 mph I bailed out. I was younger so i didnt think about the decision much and just jumped feet first. that was a dumb idea. I felt like my arm was broken a bit afterwords but everything ended up fine. Had some cool lookin roadrash and funny story in the end of it.

I was standing in the bed of a 59 Chevy Apache trying to reach into the cab through the drivers side window. We turned and, naturally, I was flung from the truck. It was quite surreal and perhaps it was because it happened so fast that I didn’t have time to react, but I made a complete flip and rolled head over heels from the road into the grass. Besides tucking my head for the impact, I was mostly limp and my momentum did all of the work. I immediately stood up surprised, but unscathed.

while ive never jumped from a car, back when i was a kid i built a gokart with my dad and many hours of fun were had with it. One time racing down the hill (this thing went FAST) i could see one of the screws holding the steering cable pulley was about to snap -luckily i was close to the grassy edge on the road so i bailed and rolled just as it snapped. I was fine but the gokart flattened a neighbours rose bush.

I never jumped from a car, but we use to ride or hitch the trains that went by my house. They ran past a shopping mall we used to hang out at when we were kids. One time on the way home (I just purchased a 45 RPM record Good loven by the young rascals) a freight was slowing down so I hitched on it for my ride. Before I knew it it picked up speed and felt like it was going 90mph (probably was 30mph)anyway I was by my house and didn’t want to take it into the rail yard and get busted so got ready to jump.I held the record in my teeth and jumped. After rolling I jumped up and was looking for my record. I found it with a nice bite mark taken out! I didn’t have the piece in my mouth and never felt doing it. Needless to say the tucking thing is a good Idea, PS get a mouth piece.

Sid, obviously you don’t get the point of this article. It’s for last-ditch emergencies, when the alternative is to die, not when you’ve had a spat with your girlfriend and want to leave.

A few years back I jumped out of a moving vehicle by choice rather than necessity. My church youth leader was a young, fun loving guy and he liked to see how far we could push ourselves as men. After a milk-chugging contest we were driving the 16 passenger van around dropping everyone off at home. I’m the dumbest, so when my ‘stop’ came he slowed down to maybe 5 or 8 miles per hour. Nothing lethal. And after some peer pressure from him and my classmates, I leaped out. I knew the procedure ‘how to’ because Batman comics told me how, but I didn’t follow them very well. As a result I had a nasty bruise on the back of my head and told my mother I got it while getting out of the church van.

one time when i was longboarding i went to push after a hill but instead stepped on my wheel, i was flung and slid on my hands and toes and then back. pretty sure i scarred part of my back and left elbow. my wrist also kind of hurts

now i didn’t jump, i fell, but, it was a ute (pickup) going at around 50km/h on a gravel road and he took a sharp swerve and i fell off the back, cut my back up pretty badly and mild concussion, but all good.

I didn’t jump from a moving vehicle but I have ran up and over a moving vehicle headed straight for me. I’m like Jackie Chan.

No great story, just a bunch of young kids with a parent’s car.

In other news: I want to hear more of Tijuana. Go to any Jai Alai matches?
