I don't want to misspeak. 

The humanoid starts out 

in a normal driving position. 

The occupant wants 
to continue going along 
at the speed and the trajectory 
that he was going 
until he gets redirected 
somehow by the structures 
of the vehicle. 

The ejection 
is certainly a process. 
It's not an instantaneous, 
you're all the way in 
and then you're all 
the way out. 

There's no teleporation that we know of. 

Moving in this up and out kind of scenario. 

Once he separates 
from the vehicle, 
he's going to travel 
in a trajectory 

that's well defined.

The launch angle 
that he gets 
and the initial velocity 
and then the force 
- the acceleration 
due to gravity. 

He's going to 
follow an arc. 

He will 
follow a parabolic trajectory 
and it will be tangent 
to the path of travel 
of the vehicle. 

The fact that he was 
able to observe 
the ejection certainly 
suggests that there was 
a launching going on. 

There's a separation 
between the passenger 
and the vehicle. 

The door was still 
there during that time. 

There were 
dicing injuries, injuries 
consistent with glass, 
consistent with him leaving 

through the window portal.

Evidence of a likely 
partial ejection kind of 
phenomenon, injuries sort of 
immediately prior 
to the complete ejection. 

Some attempts at respiration 
gomg on. 

It doesn't appear 
that he actually expired 
inside the vehicle. 

His heart was still pumping. 

You would expect to see 
blood somewhere. 

There's nothing that I would point to in a photograph and say, 

look, right there, 
that's his ribs, or something 
like that. 

A body can certainly leave a deformation. 

The place where I would expect to see 
the marks is going to be at the belt line. 

He 's not restrained. 

He's up against the door.

Astride a jagged black gash, 
a gerrymandered line, women vice 
in, wielding eraser thighs. 

Screw the context. The weather bites 
fine. Flay pumpkinseed. Dust 
cornmeal. Cast your net 

on the other side.
