I always breath out and push my chest out when the ride ops push down on the restraints, and then relax once they past, that way, I can ensure that the restraints aren't too tight.
As for preventing my ears and head getting bashed against the side of the restraints, I always hold my head forward away from the head rest. Great for giving your neck a workout and keeping your nose away from that horrible smell of the restraints (which I believe is a combination of sweat and sick).
I think the worse restrains are the ones on G-Force at Drayton Manor Park, half way around the track ,they always tighten up around my ribs beyond breathable, but that's another topic....
