The Brace Position Isn’t a Myth
When flight attendants go over the safety procedures before a flight, they detail the “brace position,” in which passengers put their head towards their knees and cup the back of their head lightly. But for years, some conspiracy theorists have claimed that the brace position is actually deadly.
On the contrary, this position helps compact the body, protecting the vital organs from injury. The topic has been so hotly debated that Myth Busters even did an episode on it.
