This is a normal post I heard that the brace position
was there to keep your teeth near your body so they can identify your charred remains....

rather than to improve your chances of survival.
is that true d'ya fink?

This is a normal post Hehe
I was put a post in on talk about this about a year ago but the general consensus was that it was a myth.

The brace position was invented years ago when there was far more space in planes IMO - now try to get into the brace position on an EasyJet flight ... it's a physical impossibility (for me anyway)

This is a normal post you could sit on the wings
then it's easier to get off if the plane crashes

This is a normal post Ah, Air Cameroon
Have they changed at all in the last ten years?

Does "a big bucket of animal fat" still count as hand luggage?

This is a normal post While brace postions in the face of a nosedive into the ground/ocean from 25000 feet are pretty pointless
Bracing in event of a wheels up, or off runway landing, means that everyone keeps in their seats, and protects face and limbs from copping a bashing and preventing injury. The quick death thing is just a grim urban legend.

This is a normal post my instinct - apart from screaming -
would be to bring my legs up to my chest so they don't get sliced off....

hahaha
one plane journey I went on was playing Rosemary's baby as the in flight movie.

My mate was on a plane to LA during the riots and watched a news report on the plane about how LA was burning and there was a mad gunman on the lose in LAX. She asumed that they would divert the plane - they didn't.
