A person jumping out from a moving car or bus falls forward. Why?


The man falls forward because of inertia of motion. The person is in a state of motion inside the moving bus. When he steps out of the bus, his lower part of the body suddenly comes to rest. But, the upper part of the body still remains in a state of motion. Hence, the person falls forward.
