I can understand the safety card - my english is bad, just not that bad!

I think knees resting on the seat in front of you is the best idea - so you're ankles go back as far as they can; and the knees are pushed on the seat in front of you. Then as you say - head resting on the seat with hands (not interlocked) on the top, oh not forgeting arms on thighs!

So from a cabin crew perspective - that's the best thing to do?

I hope I am never in that situation, nor do I hope that anyone else I know is in that situation.

So why is it then a myth that the brace position is just there to kill you quickly? How much higher is the chance of survival with the brace position than someone who does not do the brace position?

Thank you.
