>>15920030I remember when I was 12 I watched the episode where the Mythbusters were trying to disprove the claim, that the brace position in the event of an airplanecrash landing breaks your neck or lethally injures you, so the insurance companies have to pay less money.
Their methods of testing were strange and they concluded that the claim was absolutely unfounded despite never even doing any rapid deceleration tests with anatomically accurate ballistic jel dummies or even a loadcell measuring the momentum of a standard dummy's body acting on the head and neck in the event of said rapid deceleration.
