A long time ago, I read the best areas for most plane accidents were the front of the plane because they were less crowded, one of the last to catch on fire, and in an emergency landing the nose is kept up while the tail/rear wheels touch ground first. On the other hand, another study of the rare people who survived high altitude catastrophic accidents found they were always in the tail of the plane. I’d suggest sitting at the front, or failing that at an emergency exit that isn’t on the wing.
