One old guy swore that his ejection from single car accident was what

That has been known to happen frequently. (particularly befoe 1966.)
Also helps if landing is in a snowbank or muddy freshly plowed field
(not many of them anymore.)
However, that theory is often squashed when the vehicle lands on top
of the ejectee, or perhaps cuts the would be ejectee in half as the
vehicle separates the part still in the vehicle from the part outside.
