Why is it dangerous to get out of the sunroof?
It is dangerous to stick your head or torso out of the sunroof in a moving car, because you, the person standing outside the sunroof, are in a stationary position when the car is moving. If the car stops suddenly in such a situation, then that person can go forward at a very high speed. There is a possibility that in such a situation the person may also fall towards the front of the car or may get seriously injured by the edges of the sunroof. A person peeping out of the sunroof can lose balance due to a bump on the road or a sudden move. As a result, serious injuries or even death can result.
