If I ever was in a rollover, I’d just brace my legs against the seat and hold the wheel tight so I don’t move.

Guessing sarcasm. If not, then I say "Good luck with that."

I remember the movie “Fearless” with Jeff Bridges.

Guy survives a plane crash. Another survivor is wracked with guilt because she was holding her baby during the crash and it was torn out of her arms. She lamented ‘if only I had held on tighter!’.

Jeff's character takes her in a car and gets her to hold a 20 lb sack. He tells he to be sure to “hold on tight, tight as you can” and then he slams the car 30 mph into a wall. The sack went flying!

I don't think people really have any concept of the magnitude of the forces involved and how quickly they are applied.
