An '''involuntary ejection''' is an occurrence in the Grand Theft Auto series when the player is involuntarily thrown off or out of a vehicle. This is commonly the result of a collision, although there are other causes (being car-jacked by an NPC, for example). 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, but hitting any NPC's vehicle at a high speed with a large vehicle may result in their ejection as well. | An '''involuntary ejection''' is an occurrence in the Grand Theft Auto series when the player is involuntarily thrown off or out of a vehicle.

This will happen every time with high-speed head on collisions, because Niko does not wear a seatbelt. | ||

Involuntary ejections from a car or aircraft is a feature introduced later in the series, after [[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), 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. | Involuntary ejections from a car or aircraft is a feature introduced later in the series, after [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].

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. | 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. | ||
