 === GTA Vice City — GTA Chinatown Wars ===
-For subsequent games where motorcycles where available, including [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], involuntary dismounts may still occur while on a motorcycle.
+Motorcycles were missing from [[GTA 2]] and [[GTA III]], but subsequently appeared in every GTA game from [[GTA Vice City]] onward, with the exception of [[GTA Advance]]; they continued to feature involuntary dismounts.
-When motorcycles were reintroduced in GTA Vice City, more conditions for a dismount were added; the player can also be thrown off when leaning the bike too far back during a wheelie, too far forward during a stoppie, or while the motorcycle is rolling backwards over a certain speed.  This remained unchanged in GTA games which recycled GTA Vice City's game engine (GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories). [[Bicycles]], which debuted in GTA San Andreas, are particularly vulnerable —— unlike with motorcycles, hitting pedestrians with a bicycle will throw the player from the bike. Improved bike and cycling [[statistics]] will improve the player's ability to hold onto a motorbike or bicycle during low-impact collisions, or while rolling backwards.
+In GTA Vice City, more conditions for a dismount were added; in addition to impacts, the player can also be thrown off when leaning the bike too far back during a wheelie, too far forward during a stoppie, or while the motorcycle is rolling backwards over a certain speed.  This remained unchanged in GTA games which recycled GTA Vice City's game engine (GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories).
-[[Grand Theft Auto IV]] continues to apply the same set of rules with regards to motorcycle dismounts, although [[Ragdoll Physics|ragdoll physics]] is now used when the player is thrown off their bike, making it difficult to predict the degree of injury the player may sustain. In GTA IV, even a minor to moderate collision may propel the player off their bike; susceptibility to dismounts was adjusted, however, in GTA IV's DLC, [[The Lost and Damned]].  As the protagonist in Lost and Damned is more accustomed to motorcycles, the risk of him being thrown off a bike is lower.
