Maybe you should Shut your eyes upon impact? ;-)
Also, remember to put your hands at 9:00 and 3:00.
If you put your hands at the old 10-2 and the airbag
fires off it has happened that the driver's thumbs were broken!
Hands now go at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock if you drive with airbags.

Thumbs should never be inside the steering wheel according the big rig trucker
that helped teach me to drive. The reason is that in fighting for control of a
vehicle a thumb can be broken by the torching wheel. In an emergency you don't
need to add to your problems by having a broken thumb. Line the thumb up on the
steering wheel and fold fingers around it.

Many people do make that recommendation: for 4-wheel driving or
otherwise rough terrain you should use the "monkey grip"!

Doesnt happen with modern cars.

Or have enough of a clue to work out whether you are driving a car or a truck.
