As the title says, I’ve heard that putting your feet on the dashboard is more dangerous when you get in a car accident. I prefer to sit like this in the passenger seat, but some people have told me I am more likely to break my spine or legs in this position.
About 20 years ago, I knew a woman who had to have her leg amputated after a bad car accident. I remember she told me she was sitting the “proper” way too. So, #1) Is it true that putting your feet up in a moving car is that much worse for your body; and #2) Can you explain how sitting properly in a car helps prevent damage or injury to the body?

If the airbag goes off it’s going to Launch your knees into your face, regardless if your legs would normally bend that far.
Also if your torso is sitting much lower than the normal sitting position the you may slip through the seat belt and end up stuffed in the footwell.
