What is the primary focus while in the 'Survive the impact' stage?

In the 'Survive the impact' stage, the primary goal is positioning for maximum safety. This involves taking the necessary actions to ensure that passengers and crew members adopt the right posture and secure themselves effectively to minimize the risk of injury during the impact of a crash landing. Proper positioning can significantly influence the chances of survival by reducing the likelihood of harm from the forces that come into play during an impact.

While elements such as emergency kit usage, collecting safety information, and seeking assistance from crew are important considerations in the broader context of safety procedures, they do not directly relate to the immediate priorities during the impact itself. The focus in this critical moment is squarely on ensuring that individuals are in the safest possible position, reinforcing the concept that proactive measures taken right before impact can greatly affect survival outcomes.
