Abstract:

In the event of an accident, one action that an occupant can take to contribute to their survival is to assume an appropriate brace-for-impact position. This is an action in which a person pre-positions their body against whatever they are most likely to be thrown against, significantly reducing injuries sustained. Occupants in the US Airways Flight 1549 sustained shoulder injuries that they attributed to the brace position; therefore, the NTSB recommended that the position be re-evaluated.
