This is what happens if you don't wear the crotch strap

I'll remove the shoulder straps once we're up and away and usually the "5th" about then. It all comes back on descending through 10,000. That 5th strap is there for a reason. I remember in the Kalitta forced landing down in Bogota, the only guy that got really injured was the FO who didn't use the 5th strap and slid out just like the Comair FO.

Other signs can be utilizing that "5th" overally, familiar strap of a 5 point seatbelt harness. I mean what type of maneuvers are you expecting to do.

It seems to me that looking over at the other guy's crotch to see if he is using the strap is a bit "toolish".

"A strikebreaker (sometimes derogatorily called a scab, blackleg, or knobstick) is a person who works despite an ongoing strike. Strikebreakers are usually individuals who are not employed by the company prior to the trade union dispute, but rather hired after or during the strike to keep the organization running. "Strikebreakers" may also refer to workers (union members or not) who cross picket lines to work.
Strikebreakers are employed worldwide, often occurring wherever workers go on strike or engage in related actions. However, strikebreakers are used far more frequently in the United States than in any other industrialized country.[1] The Mohawk Valley formula calls for the use of strikebreakers when dealing with striking employees."
