If you have time to jump out of the way, then you have time to avoid the accident because you obviously see it coming. OR if you do have that much time, the other person might recover, so that leaves you, rolling in a truck with no driver, and who knows where it's going because you probably jerked the wheel when you jumped out of the way...
Problem is, when an actual collision occurs, it's because someone didn't see it. I was t-boned in my 97 GMC 2500. It was at night, and between the time I saw the headlights of the car that hit me, and the impact, I didn't even get past OH in an "OH SHIT!" The only thing that saved me from a life of pain was the fact that she was driving a Grand Prix, and her bumper hit my truck at the rocker panel, behind and below my seat. My seat belt kept me in my seat, rather than getting thrown across to the other side.
