We're all taught these common items, but I wonder what others we're
not taught. For example, after reading many accident reports, I have
two more things I'd try to do in an emergency landing:

1) Remove my headphones. Many people who came to an abrupt stop have
mentioned that they survived fine except for their headphones flying
forward off their heads... while nearly ripping their ears off! Plus
some people have died from cord strangulation.

2) Make sure any front seat passenger moves their seat full rearward.
Many accident reports talk about a large CFI or passenger dying from a
yoke thrust... just like in the bad old automobile fixed steering
wheel days.

Any others?
