Recently had a flight to Heathrow on an A319.
Unfortunately we lost our exit row seats due to a flight cancellation and ended up in row 22 on the rebooked flight.
Being 6'4'' these seats are a tight squeeze for me with my knees stuck against the seats in front.

So during the safety briefing it shows the brace position as leaning forward with your head just above your knees.

Out of interest I leaned forward and my forehead was hitting the lip of the upper seat pocket preventing me from leaning any further forward. This also left the rear of my head higher than the seat i was leaning against.

Interested what peoples views are regarding this brace position I would have to take in an emergency?
