Why? You design planes for a living?
The steering wheel in a car was radically changed to prevent the shaft going through your ribcage. The glass in the front window was changed so any unrestrained person would not have to wear a diamond collar. The dash is designed to give and cause less damage as the body comes into contact with it, as is the foot well and the backside of the forward seats - for the sake of the rear passenger. Headrests are designed to minimize damage caused by sudden head and neck movement.
You're telling me that nothing can be done about hard surfaces inside a plane?
