Brace Position

Interested what brace position for crew other airlines adopt.
With my previous airline, your hands went on top of your head, tucking your elbows in, so your whole head was covered......resulting in your head being protected from flying object so to speak....
However, I have real concerns about the brace position my current airline uses. Our hands do NOT go on head, instead we cross our arms protecting our stomach with head back against the seat......in what way is that going to protect your head???? I have brought this up many a times but it just goes straight out of the window
Another thing im concerned about though, if i ever have to adopt the brace position, then i WILL protect my head but then would i be insured by the company cause i havn't followed the company's brace position....."How would they Know" i hear you ask, what happens if something went into my stomach which should have been protected.
I would much rather protect my head then my stomach
