Passenger Brace

On the same topic of head / neck injuries - When briefing your passengers for a crash brace position what is better for the head / neck;

1 - back and head against the seat and arms straight holding the seat beside your legs or,
2 - back against the seat and head supported by one arm grasping the oposite shoulder

We brief option 2 as we believe there would be much better protection of the head / neck in an impact!
