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. | 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. | ||

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. | 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). | 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.

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