If someone is about to get hurt or gets hurt people put their hands over their head/face. Is this a gesture we all do? If so why?

you do it because you saw countless videos of people covering their mouth in similar situations. People who record those videos do it because that is what their viewers expect.
people with different cultural backgrounds respond differently. Many in older generation of American males would say “ouch”, and/or twist their face like they are in pain. I think I have also seem some really old movies where people cover their eyes or look away half-heartedly.
