The likelihood of being ejected through the windshield is influenced by several factors, including the vehicle's speed, the angle of the crash, and the occupant's position and restraint use.
* _Speed_: The higher the vehicle's speed, the greater the force of the impact and the more likely that occupants will be ejected.
* _Angle of the crash_: Head-on collisions and rollovers are more likely to result in windshield ejections than other types of crashes.
* _Occupant's position_: Occupants who are not properly restrained are more likely to be ejected from the vehicle. This is especially true for passengers in the front seat who are not wearing seat belts.
* _Restraint use_: Seat belts and airbags can greatly reduce the risk of being ejected from a vehicle. Airbags, in particular, help to keep occupants' heads and bodies from striking the windshield and other hard surfaces.
Here are some things you can do to reduce your risk of being ejected from a vehicle in a crash:
* Always wear your seat belt, even when riding in the back seat.
* Ensure that your seat belt is properly adjusted and fits snugly against your body.
* Never stand or sit in the back of a pickup truck.
* Be aware of your surroundings and always drive defensively.
Following these tips can help you stay safe in case of a crash.
