Can a human body really fit into the trunk of a car?

I really was wondering about this. I have seen this on T.V. I do know that a small child could possibly fit into an trunk. That would make sense. But what about an adult that is taller. Say 5'5 and up... This has to be impossible. Do you know of anything like this happening in real life. Have you witnessed anything as this? What do you think about this really happening for real? And does the movies really tell the truth? It looks real. I am trying to figure out if it really can be true. There has to be some reasonable explanation for this. What do you believe?

This is true. My husband and the kids were outside playing hide and go seek. My husband decided to crawl into the trunk of the car. He is about 5'11" and a little over three hundred pounds. I'm not lying, he really did fit into the trunk. he didn't close the trunk all the way, he said it was way to hot. the kids never did find him LOL. and he did need help getting out.

There was an awful case of rape here in Italy just last week. A couple were assaulted while in their car by four youths who proceeded to bung the man in the trunk of the car while tnen taking turns to rape the woman. Disgusting, appalling and it happened in real life and not in a film. So yes I fear it is possible

I couldn't agree more! Not only some of the films and crime series but also some of the irems that pass as news. They are in some cases very non-educational and if seen by the wrong persons could only assist in making crime worse than it already is.

That is very bad to hear about! So it really is true! It was very disgusting to know that a woman could be raped like this. It seems like what someone watches on T.V. really comes true in real life. Crazy! Some things on T.V. do need to be banned!

Yes, what we see as fake can actually come to life! That is the negative side of watching T.V.

Yes, a human body can fit into the trunk of a car. If the trunk is big enough, you can fit three bodies in the trunk. I know because we used to sneak people into the drive-in theater to watch movies.

Yep it is true. MY boys are teenagers. This past summer they went to the drive in and tried to sneak in two of their friends by putting them in the trunk of the car. Crazy kids!

They use to charge so much a carload at the drivein, and now they charge per person. They were trying to sneak the friends in so it wouldn't cost so much. It worked for them.

How were they able to pull that off? Why would they sneak their friends in? Were they trying to allow them to see the film for free without paying for it? That is funny!

for me, It depends upon how big is the trunk. There are some cars that have big trunk that can accommodate large baggage and of course if a person will be placed in there it could be done. I did not witness anything like that in person but I often see it in movies. There are people who sill be hiding in the trunk of the car and they are fine in there.

Yes, these things you only see n the movies or T.V. itself. I really wonder about this. I guess this has to be acted out to really see!

Yes actually you can fit two avarage size people in the trunk. When my parents were in high school they use to go to the drive in movies. What they would do was sneek extras in by the trunk. They said it was really tight but for the short time that it took it was fun. I don't think that I would ever personally do it though.

Of course a human body can fit into the trunk of a car! You hear about it all the time on the news! I am big and fat and even I can fit into the trunk of a car, (I discovered this when I had to retrieve something out of the far back of the trunk)! All it takes is having the body bent or curled up! My brother is over 6ft. tall and played football but he once got into the trunk of a friend's car to get into a swimming lodge for free!

especially in older cars,like say thunderbirds,yes there is plenty of room. others you might have to curl up in a fetal position,but it's still possible. i have witnessed it only in the sense that i had friends who snuck in in the trunk to go to drive ins and parks where there was per person admission. probably not a good idea,but..i didn't say they were smart

Hi cream! yes, a human body can fit in the trunk of a car, well of course if the trunk is spacious enough. Our old beetle's trunk wouldn't accommodate an adult human body but other cars will. Like for example my cousin's car which is a Toyota Mazda and my cousin is 5'11 and he can fit in the trunk of his car. Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

It can be real. I can fit into the trunk of a car pretty easily actually and I am a full grown grown up. I'm 5'7 and yes...most definitly I could fit into the trunk of my little chevy cavalier....maybe won't be too comfortable but it really does happen i'm sure.

Indeed it can! All one has to do is bring up their legs and they'll fit very well. Even tall people can fit in if they ducked their heads and brought up their legs. Now a peice of advice, if you ever get stuck in the truck of a car by a kidnapper, it's wise to knock out the back lights and push your hand through so someone behind the car will see you and call for help. There should be a release somewhere in the trunk but if you can't find it then knock out a light and stick your hand and arm out.

I guess it would have to depend on the size of the trunk. Some trunks are bigger wherein some are smaller in cars. Some seats even can be pushed in so that it reveals the trunk. A person could easily push it through (the seat that is) I can only assume.

It would depend on the size of the person and the size of the trunk. Larger vehicles do have larger trunks.

There was a real life police programme on the tv the other week,they stopped the car because it was over crowded,they actually found someone in the boot of the car because he could not get on the back seat.He was ok and travelled like that a lot to get a lift rather than walk,it depends on the size of the car.I certainly would rather walk or catch the bus myself.

I know I have heard of cases here in the Seattle area where people were robbed, etc. and stuffed in a trunk left to die, and found luckily still alive. Some of these people did not look that small to me either. So I guess it would depend on what type of car, and the size of the person as well, but I think it can happen.

of course a adult body can fit into a trunk of a car when i was a teenager then three of us fit into a trunk. It was on Halloween and we all were stupid kids but it was fun. that is the only thing i can think of that would relate to this i hope it helps you in some way.

I mean I'm pretty sure that you can definitely fit a body into the trunk of a car of course it probably depends on the size of the car and the size of the body but you can definitely fit some people into the trunk. I'm pretty sure that I could fit into a car bound and gagged in the trunk.

Well I supposed they can, depending on the size of the trunk, right? But nowadays I see that the trunks are fairly big, if people lie on their sides and scrunch up a bit I don't see why they wouldn't fit. I have never seen anybody try to stuff themselves in the trunk of a car before, but it would be pretty interesting to see, especially if they're tall.
