The Brace Position Myth
Speculation that the bracing posture increases the risk of death is unfounded. The tragic but incorrect assumption that airlines would rather have people die in an accident than live and have legal recourse fuels this myth.
Airlines end up paying large sums to the families of people killed in plane crashes. It’s essential to pay attention to the videos and the advice of the flight attendants since the bracing posture will prevent you from hitting the seat in front.
