What is the brace position in a caravan?? It would be interesting to know if any of the passengers accidentally clipped the life jacket around the outside of the shoulder strap and therefore tied themselves to the aircraft
With lap/sash seatbelts, it's sitting straight & upright, not your typical airliner brace position.

Tough for an EFATO for the pilot to brief passengers in time to don lifejackets; that said, there's probably a large percentage of non-compliance to inflating the jackets prior to exiting the cabin.

Otherwise, everything they've written about ditching caravan's looks correct; ditches very nicely and sits in the water tail high; for quite a while.
