The Brace Position

Hi,

I have been flying for years now, and thankfully I still fly - but something has scared me.

The Brace Position

I am a tall man, who is very thin - but even still I could not get my head between my knees in the brace position. I say anyone who is average height would have extreme difficulty and anyone tall (like me) has no chance.

How does the brace position help - when 75% of the flight I just got off from can't perform the brace position in an emergency?

I did notice that the safety card looked as if the passenger had there head resting on the seat in front of them? But surely when impact occurs you're head is going to be smashed; with severe head injuries?

What do I do? Mainly as I am just too tall - and to be honest I think a lot of people are in the same boat as me!

Thank you.

Nikolai

P.S

I find Easyjet so crampt that 99% of passengers travelling - will not be able to do it!
