Will a Pokemon affected by Destiny Bond escape if they KO'd the user with U-turn/Volt Switch/etc?

Question

Someone destiny bonds me, I use U-Turn/Volt Switch/Flip Turn and K-O them, does destiny bond still take effect? And likewise, if I use a switching move (U-Turn/Volt Switch) and it doesn't K-O, will destiny bond be passed on to the next Pokemon sent in from it?
And what if I use Baton Pass? Will destiny bond still be passed, along with the stat changes I might have?

Answer 1

No.

Destiny Bond will KO the apposing Pokemon before the switch effect of U-Turn, Flip Turn, Volt Switch etc.

Also, Destiny Bond is a self applied status. It doesn't do anything to the opponent unless they hit the user with an offensive move. So no, Baton Pass won't pass it because The Passer itself is not afflicted with Destiny Bond.

Hope this helps.
