i work with a guy who flipped his jeep over on its side off roading and he put his hands out to brace the crash because it was so slow and he lost 7 fingers.

realistically you would go into a ball but i think his instincts because it was so slow was to put his arms out.

Realistically, you'd probably try to brace yourself too. If you are falling, and you curl into a ball, then I can only imagine you've trained it for some silly sport.

Falling and extending your hand out to catch yourself is a reaction inherent in us all.

True, I learned the ball trick from roller derby.
