What I really meant was, how many emergency landings - where the brace instruction will have been given - have there actually been which were violent enough to result in at least some minor injury and/or fatalities but not entire plane fatalities?
In other words, how many times
might it have made a difference.
My guess would be not very many at all. The Hudson incident is one that springs to mind.
