I also use hands-on-knees double-wide, and I try to face the fleshy part of my arm outward so if it does get me it doesn't get bone.
I didn't used to turn the fleshy part out, and took a sharply fouled fastball from a former relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox right to my elbow. I left the game and had it x-rayed. It sure looked broken. But it wasn't. I got lucky.
Had to give them the co-pay, though, and that sucked.
