| An '''involuntary ejection''' is an occurrence in the Grand Theft Auto series when the player or an NPC is involuntarily thrown off or out of a vehicle, commonly as result of a collision.

| This feature primarily serves as a penalty for reckless driving, and attempts to simulate a certain degree of realism in the game's vehicular accidents. The tendency for the player to be thrown out of vehicles varies among vehicle classes and models; hitting any NPC's vehicle at a high speed with a large vehicle may also result in their ejection.

| In [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], the player will be thrown forward from their [[motorcycle]] if they collide with vehicles past a certain speed. This feature offsets the motorcycles' superior maneuverability and nimble nature, and discourage recklessness. Players lose health when thrown.

| Motorcycles were missing from [[Grand Theft Auto 2]] and [[Grand Theft Auto III]], but subsequently appeared in every GTA game from [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] onwards, with the exception of [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]; they continued to feature involuntary dismounts.

| In GTA Vice City, more conditions for a dismount were added; in addition to impacts with vehicles and buildings, the player can also be thrown off when leaning the bike too far back during a wheelie, too far forward during a stoppie, or while the motorcycle is rolling backwards over a certain speed. This remained unchanged in GTA games which recycled GTA Vice City's game engine (GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories).

| [[Bicycles]], which debuted in GTA San Andreas, are particularly vulnerable —— unlike with motorcycles, hitting pedestrians with a bicycle will throw the player from the bike. Improved bike and cycling [[statistics]] improve the player's ability to hold onto a motorbike or bicycle during low-impact collisions, or while rolling backwards.

| [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] continues to apply the same set of rules with regards to motorcycle dismounts, this time using [[Ragdoll Physics|ragdoll physics]] after players are thrown from their bike; this makes it difficult to predict the degree of injury the player may sustain. In GTA IV, even a minor to moderate collision may propel the player off their bike; susceptibility to dismounts is adjusted, however, in GTA IV's DLC, [[The Lost and Damned]]. As [[Johnny Klebitz|the protagonist]] in TLAD is more accustomed to motorcycles than [[Niko]], the risk of him being thrown off a bike is lower.

| == Cars and aircraft == | | |- |
| Involuntary ejections from a car or aircraft is a feature introduced later in the series, with [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. If the player is traveling at a high speed and they smash into an object or vehicle (particularly an immobile one) head on, there is a chance they will be propelled through the windshield. If a player is ejected through the windshield, the windshield will shatter as the player is flung forward out of the vehicle, from which point GTA IV's physics engine sends the player's [[Ragdoll Physics|ragdoll]] rolling and bumping to a stop, inflicting damage with each impact. The feature also applies to the game's helicopters. It can be assumed that the protagonist may not wear a seat belt, at least on certain occasions, resulting in the tendency for him to be thrown out.

| Although being ejected from the windshield is unlikely to kill a protagonist in decent health, the player may be thrown into oncoming traffic, risking collisions which will cause major damage. If a player is ejected straight into an oncoming vehicle (especially in places where traffic moves fast, such as a highway), the player risks being killed. Like dismounts in GTA IV, the effects of such an ejection can be catastrophic if the player is low on health.
