Q: DOES 'BRACING FOR IMPACT' REALLY PROTECT YOU IN A CRASH?

摘要

On January 8,1989, a Boeing jetliner crashed during an emergency Landing near East Midlands airport in England, killing one-third of the passengers on board. As doctors tended to survivors, they found that people who had adopted a "brace position" prior to the crash-heads bent forward, feet planted on the floor-were less likely to have sustained severe head trauma or concussions, no matter where they sat on the plane.
