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?

Bracing in a car accident is a very real thing you just do it differently, don’t put your arms where they are going to get destroyed by air bags.
There some videos of some crash testers (real people, not dummies) and they basically use their legs to push their back into their seat as hard as possible (do not fully lockout your knees, slight bend, but consistent force) and they are usually fine.
