When a boy jumps out of a moving bus there is a danger for him to fall in the direction of motion?

The man jumping out from a moving bus possesses the inertia of motion. As the man lands on the gorund, feet come to rest immediately while the upper part of body continue to move due to inertia of motion and hence the person may fall forward.

When the passenger jumps out of a fast-moving bus/train, his feet will come to rest on touching the ground, whereas the upper part of his body continues to move forward, due to the inertia of motion. As a result, if he does not run forward he will fall with his face in downwards direction. Was this answer helpful?

If the car is accelerating, however, it changes. If the car is gaining speed, then once the person jumps, it will lag behind the car because the car is still gaining speed while the person isn't. If the car is losing speed, once the person jumps it will get a lead over the car.

A getting passenger getting down from a moving bus, falls in the direction of the motion of the bus. This is because his feet come to rest on touching the ground and the remaining body continues to move due to inertia of motion.

When a bus abruptly starts moving, the passengers tend to slide backward due to inertia, as the passenger's inertia tends to oppose the bus's forward motion. Hence, the passenger tends to fall back when the bus accelerates forward.

When the person was inside the train his body was also moving forward. While jumping out, his feet touches ground comes to rest immediately. But the upper part of the body still remains in motion due to inertia of motion and so he falls.

To get off on the left side, right foot first is like so:
  1. slide right foot to left (but behind left foot), apply weight.
  2. slide left foot to left.
  3. slide left forward, apply weight.
  4. bring left-foot forward (take the first step completely off train)

This is because of inertia of motion. The part of our body, which is in contact with the bus, changes the direction of motion. However, the rest of the body tries to move in the same direction as before because of inertia of motion. Q.

MORE DETAILS

Initially, the passengers and the bus both are moving in same direction. When the bus suddenly takes a sharp turn, the lower portion of passengers which is contact with the bus tends to move in that direction but the upper portion of the passengers throw an outside. This happens due to the INERTIA OF DIRECTION.
