How do YOU brace yourself?

[krazykidd]

Simple question out of curiosity . In movies and video games before an impact, someone usually something along the lines of "BRACE YOURSELF!". Now i do know what that means , technically, but i have no idea how i would brace myself for anything . Now my question is how do YOU brace youself when you are about to get hit with something , anything really . And the question is NOT how is a person SUPPOSED to brace themselves , because the latter i could just google it . I'm more curious about haw the average person ( you guys ) brace yourslves when needed .

I grab on to something mostly. Depends on the situation itself.

If I'm inside a ship, car or a building I guess I would grab onto something sturdy. Anything else I guess I was ground myself with my feet.

If I was inside a vehicle or transport of some kind, and I was preparing for an impact, I'd attempt to grab hold of two separate, sturdy objects. I find that this method has kept me standing in the past, no reason for it to stop working now.

On the other hand, if I was preparing for an attack of some kind, I'd position my feet according to the direction of the assault, and then hunch my back a bit and cover my head with my arms. You know, elbows held tightly against my sides, fists clenched, upper arms around the face. It might not be that effective, but it's what I always do when I know I'm gonna get hit.
