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?

Also, you have a lot of time to prepare for an airplane crash.
If you’re nosing into the ground at 400 mph, the only thing that will save you is Jesus. But if it’s like a malfunction and you’re flying to a landing in a forest or something, you’re trying to decelerate from 160 kt to 0 in the longest time possible. There’s no comparable car crash, which are all of the “sudden and catastrophic” variety
