When someone is flung from a car, I'm not really worried about the damage they will do.
And if you're in flinging territory, the cell phone is a rounding error compared to the windshield, and a lot more blunt too.
Physics!
Someone flung from a car won't damage you, but have a look at videos with crash test dummies, where a passenger in the back isn't wearing a seat belt. Them being flung in to the back of the driver's seat creates a huge impact.
The windshield won't be flung anywhere, but an electronic device will. Getting smashed in the face with an iPhone going 50Km/h is going to do some damage, rounded corners or not.

No. Don't do that here. Go back to reddit.
It might bounce but at that point there's way less energy involved and the accident's intense enough that a welt on my head is the least of my problems.
