How to word the action where a person jumped through a non-broken window?

Here's my take:

The brave stuntman jumped and broke through the window. => It doesn't sound natural to me Sad [:(]

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Feebs11.

Here's another similar action.

How to describe a stuntman driving a car crashed through a wall on the third floor and jumped out of the car while the car is plunging down?

My take:

The car crashed through the wall into the midair/off the building/over the edge and jumped out of the car. =>none of the choices that I can think of sound natural. Sad [:(]
