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]].

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.

If the player hits a [[NPC]] vehicle head-on at a high enough speed in a large enough vehicle then the player may kill the NPC from the crash (in which they will slump down in their car seat dead), set the vehicle on fire (causing the NPC to exit the vehicle writhing in flames) or eject the NPC through the windshield of their vehicle. | If the player hits a [[NPC]] vehicle head-on at a high enough speed in a large enough vehicle then the player may kill the NPC from the crash (in which they will slump down in their car seat dead), set the vehicle on fire (causing the NPC to exit the vehicle writhing in flames) or eject the NPC through the windshield of their vehicle. | ||
