-A '''bail out''' refers to an act of jumping from a moving vehicle. This ability was first made available in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], and has been available in most [[Grand Theft Auto]] games since. Until GTA Vice City, the player could only exit vehicles once they came to a complete stop (with the exception of ships).

 == Description ==
-Bail-outs are often used as a quick means of escaping from a vehicle which is either in danger of exploding, entering dangerous ground, or about to fall off a cliff or into water.  Bailing out can also be strategically useful, allowing you to send a vehicle speeding into a group of enemies while leaving you free to attack independently.  Bail-outs are executed with the same key or button that the player uses to enter or exit vehicles, while the vehicle is still in motion. In most cases, the player will lose a small amount of health as a result of hitting the ground after exiting the vehicle; in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the use of [[Ragdoll Physics]] makes it hard to predict the amount of damage the player will take. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], the player will not lose health when bailing out.

In most cases, the player will lose a small amount of health as a result of hitting the ground after exiting the vehicle; in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the use of [[Ragdoll Physics|ragdoll physics]] makes it hard to predict the amount of damage the player will take, potentially causing lethal damage to players with low health. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], the player will not lose health when bailing out.
-Bail-outs can be done from moving land vehicles, including motorbikes and bicycles, as well as aircraft. Bailing out is not always an option --bailing out of cars in mid-air were not implemented until GTA IV. As falls from high altitudes are invariably lethal, in GTA San Andreas, players are equipped with [[parachute]]s after exiting any aircraft, to ensure the player has a chance of survival after ejecting.
-== Trivia ==
-* Many players have complained at the reduced usefulness of bailing out in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], seeing as the newly implemented [[Ragdoll Physics]] causes the player to continue moving forward after he/she has bailed out, losing a consideral amount of health from bouncing on the ground and slamming into objects and causing death if the player's health is low.
