What causes a person to hit the windshield of a moving car?
A moving vehicle's occupants have the same velocity as the vehicle, and substantial inertia, and do not stop just because the vehicle stops.Being thrown forward in the front seat is typically caused by an impact on or near the front of the vehicle. When the car is stopped or slowed by an impact, the human passengers continue to move forward due to inertia, until stopped -- preferably by their seatbelts or airbags, or less fortunately by the steering wheel, dashboard, or windshield.Moreso, in a frontal collision, the destruction of a car is partly due to the inertia of the rear of the car, which continues to move forward even once the front of the car is completely stopped. This is what can crumple the entire car, not just the front end where the impact occurs.
