For some reason that I do not remember why, I bought an kindle book (well I buy lots of free kindle books because they are free) This book was talking about a bunch of people. I searched for the names on google and found out the Kindle book was based on a show. I found the show on Netflix streaming. It is about these people who find themselves many light years and galaxies from home. The people are full of army people and civilians (non military). Actually it is sci fi but I do not see any aliens unless they are human looking aliens. I only seen the first few episodes.
I wonder why doesn’t any space ships in Sci fi have seat belts….
I seem to remember the cockpit of the Serenity (Firefly - Joss Whedon) had seatbelts (`.`)>... and weren’t there some sort of “turbulence restraints” or something in the old Star Trek Enterprise (maybe just for one ep X)... X-wings and Vipers as well (`.`)>...
... in general though, I think a spaceship is supposed to either have a localised gravity field generator to keep everybody in their seats, or is so big and heavy that turbulence doesn’t get felt up on the bridge… or maybe the script writers (and set designers) are just lazy?
Hiya Jas (^_^)n… got anything cooking? (in the render oven ). I got distracted by Szark’s render thread… then over to dA and Pitoxlon’s pictures… then back here to discuss seatbelts vs harnesses—so much for productivity on a warm Sunday afternoon ~_~.
Oh wow! ... I always heard that line as ‘... five five five ...’ (but did understand it to be on a scale of 1-9, ie dead-centre)...
... and isn’t a “seat belt” just a more marketable term than “harness”?
“Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your harnesses as the captain is expecting some turbulence shortly…”
Well, sure but if the sucker is going down do you want a Seat belt or a harness that straps you to the frame from all sides? Left shoulder to hip, right shoulder to hip and a lap belt. That’s a Harness!

Yeah, the seatbelt on a airline are not all that great compared to a car seatbelt… But then cars don’t usually crash in the same way that airlines can.
... still the same ol’ Jas I see (^_^)d.
