Learn to Brace 1.0.9

Many people have a misconception that in the event of a plane crash, all passengers are destined to perish. However, this is far from the truth as the majority of aircraft accidents have survivors. One crucial action that every passenger should be aware of is assuming the appropriate "Brace position" before impact.

The Learn to Brace app, developed by the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Udine, offers an interactive game that enables users to experience an approaching landing and witness the impact of different body positions.

The app endorses the optimized brace position recommended by recent tests conducted by researchers at the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (refer to the bibliography below).

It is important to note that the information and suggestions provided by the Learn to Brace app should not be viewed as a replacement for the guidance put forth by your airline and its crew. Always adhere strictly to all instructions provided by airline personnel while onboard.
