Except on my flights, for the record. Lol I run a tight ship... shoulder harnesses stay on in cruise and instruments are constantly being scanned. I also like to say things like “let’s make sure someone is minding the shop,” when we bred approaches.

1. I just got used to it in the military and flying aerobatics.
2. I had an FO in the ATR-72 get stitches in his head when we hit turbulence and his head hit an overhead switch.
3. If you release your shoulder harness just after TO and there is an emergency you probably won't remember your shoulder harness. I had a buddy killed ferrying an airplane. The engine failed and he made a great engine out landing to a field... but forgot his shoulder harness. Killed when his head hit the dash.
4. There have been several cases of windshields shattering and pilots being partially sucked out, most recently a Sichuan Airlines Airbus in May.
But again, that's my personal preference and I understand why pilots don't.
