a lot of people don't really use the internet to research something so much as to find validation for their biases, if not just straight up entertainment.
you can still run into people who think seatbelt laws are bad because im an accident, you need to get out of the car quickly before it catches fire.
granted, they are rarer now than they were 30 years ago, and everybody in their IRL orbit for sure knows they are a complete dolt, but all the research, data and science in the world hasn't done anything to dislodge the turds between their ears.
I dunno I think I'd prefer taking a few extra seconds and risk some mild burns over exiting a car through the front windshield at 60 mph, buy maybe that's because I'm a liberal.
the trick is to close your eyes when you are launched through th glass and then tuck and roll when you hit the ground.
also, the windshields are all made of safety glass now, so like its nbd to be launched face forst through one.
