	Door safety brace having a hinge with angled end faces - Patent 4819296
		Hinged braces for placing against a door to prevent the door being opened are well known, but none of the known braces has a satisfactory self-locking hinge which secures the brace in position against the door.
		When the door safety brace is engaged against a door, yoke means attached to the upper end of the upper rod engage under the handle of the door to be braced in closed position, and a flexible cup, engaged over the lower end of the lower rod, frictionally engages the floor.
		When locked against a door, the door brace locks in positive over-center locking position under a compression load and cannot be dislodged from its braced position unless a lateral force is applied to unlock the hinge, the direction of the lateral force being shown by the arrow in FIG.

		Only seven were seriously injured and their all adopting a brace position was cited as a significant factor in the survival of all on board.

	Braces
		Braces used to be named to sound similar to the closest prosthesis type.
		In that condition braces can be used effectively in early cases, but they are not easy braces to make as the thing to be shaped is bone.
		Such braces only apply twist forces when they are flexed and apply angular forces when they are straightened, giving the skin the intervals of pressure relief that is required.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Crash Position
		The purpose of the 'crash' or 'brace' position is to kill passengers quickly in the event of an airliner crash, or to preserve their remains so as to make identification of bodies easier.
		In the case of the 'crash' or 'brace' position the air industry recommends in the event of an impending mishap, those beliefs focus upon the presumed reason for turning oneself into a pretzel even as eternity beckons.
		The modified "brace for crash" position requires passengers to keep their feet further back than their knees as they bend the upper portion of their bodies forward, and to wear their seat belts as tight and as low on their torsos as they can.

		Knee braces may reduce the frequency and severity of ligament injuries due to extreme side-to-side and rotational stresses common in football.
		Choose a knee brace with pivoting calf straps, which use the athlete's muscle power to keep the brace from sliding down out of position.
		A brace with a rigid calf frame and non-pivoting straps tends to slide down as the leg is moved, which is not only annoying to the player, but could also put the knee at greater risk.

	Airborne with the Captain
		Although there have been talks that the brace position is only effective for preserving the dental integrity for identification during a crash, the reality is that it does save lives.
		The 'brace position' should be adopted by everyone on board the plane during the impact - not just by the passengers.
		Brace!" is given by the cockpit crew 30 seconds before impact repeatedly over the Public Announcement or through the flashing of the seat belt signs.

	Scoliosis \| Full text \| Forces exerted during exercises by patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis wearing ...
		Braces may induce a "negative body image" [20] in a growing child, that could, in turn, lead to an immature personality in adulthood.
		Thus, exercises that dually act on the spine – both to increase the forces of the brace and to drive vertebrae in the direction of the correction by means of the "escape from the pad" movement [3,30] – could be extremely useful.
		Braces are effective in idiopathic scoliosis treatment [4,43-45], and thus the search for the most useful way of helping patients when they wear braces must be intensified.

		When putting the instrument together, the slide should be on the right hand side of the bell, with the braces (the support bars on the slide in relation to the bar near the receiving portion of the bell section) forming a 90 degree angle or very close to this.
		Place the thumb on the bell brace near the receiver, the bottom three fingers on the slide brace, and the index finger may be placed upon the upper portion of the slide near the mouthpice.
		This position leaves the hand and wrist in a comfortable position which will help with moving the slide smoothly and rapidly.

	Power-Face Reverse Stroke by Steve Braden
		The high-brace position provides good support for a strong, quick, and effective turn that works well in both rough water and surf conditions.
		The high-brace position provides good support-even with an extreme lean to make the kayak pivot faster-for a strong, quick, and effective turn that works well in both rough water and surf conditions.
		The difference is that the paddle is held in a high-brace position with the wrists cocked back so that the Power-Face of the blade is used for the sweep.

	Low Brace Moving Turn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Place your paddle properly on the water surface while the kayak is moving or move your blade on the water with a climbing angle on the blade.
		Since you are in a low brace position the danger to your shoulder is minimal.
		If this were a high brace I would caution you about reaching too far but a proper low brace position does not stress the shoulder.

	GuideLines - Extended Paddle High Sculling Brace
		My hand position on the paddle in the extended position is the same distance apart as in normal paddling position.
		In the extended paddle position it is even more important to keep the elbow down on the working side because of the greater leverage on that side.
		When I do the sculling brace in the normal paddle position I am as frantic as the next person because when I lean over my capsize point I have more weight on the paddle due to my height, which means I need more lift from my paddle.

	Hand Rolling
		In the brace rolls, the hip-snap is timed to coincide with the downward vertical pull of the paddle, once it has become perpendicular to the boat at amidships, whereas in the sweep roll, the hip-snap coincides with the sweep of the paddle in the water throughout the roll.
		To repeat: it is the torquing movement of the thighs and feet against the braces and pegs that holds the boat upright.
		From then on the pressure against the kayak is "frozen" or maintained to hold the position.

	Sweep Roll
		In both the modern and Greenland standard roll, the paddle sweep is accomplished with torso rotation while the paddler follows the paddle blade with his head.

	GuideLines - Shoulder Safety
		Here is an example of a straight arm brace or as I like to call it a "dislocation brace." If I were to try to brace in this position I would pull the ball out of the socket when I pulled down on the paddle when it was on the water.
		This position easily occurs when a paddler is capsizing and their head is almost at water level and they try to brace up but forget to keep a bend in that elbow.
		When showing the high brace in extended paddle position my hands and elbows are in the same position as the high brace shown earlier.

	MythBusters: Killer Brace Position Recap - TV.com
		The Myth states that the killer brace position that passengers on airplanes are supposed to assume to increase their chance of survival is in reality a subversive attempt to put passengers at greater risk of death, because the airliners pay less for death claims than to badly injured survivors.
		In truth, the killer brace position does just what it's advertised to do: to increase the chance of survival and to reduce potential injuries.
		However, Buster was repeatedly breaking his legs in the crash, with or without the brace position, which would make it nearly imposible to escape if the plane was on fire or filling with smoke.
