1. A system for warning of a protruding body part of a medical vehicle occupant, comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate sensor data based on a position of the occupant;
a feedback device; and
a processing circuit configured to;
determine a contour of the medical vehicle;
detect a protruding extremity of the occupant that protrudes after the medical vehicle is in motion based on the sensor data and the contour, wherein detecting the protruding extremity includes determining a distance that the protruding extremity protrudes beyond a threshold distance beyond the contour of the medical vehicle and comparing the distance to the threshold distance; and
generate a warning using the feedback device, wherein the warning is based on the comparison of the distance to the threshold distance.
