Why do they say “brace for impact” when a plane crashes, if bracing is what kills you in car accidents?

I have heard that if you tense or brace your body before a car accident you are more likely to be injured. Hence why drunk drivers often walk away unharmed because they just sort of flop around instead. So why is it that we are supposed to brace for impact?

A lot of shit they say in movies isn’t real. If a place is about to crash they’ll say something like “fuck fuck fuck oh shit” according to actual black box recordings.

Another example is “THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!” No one actually says “this is not a drill” in a serious situation where people are trained to respond.. like military movies/shows or such.
