I fly aerobatic plane i always had my all belts fastened tight i hardly imagine how i could lossening some belts during manouvers. Even if i fastened my shoulder belts not such tight during manouvers my upper body would be moving too much i bet it would help in aiming.


Actually, in American aircraft this would quickly be accomplished by locking/unlocking the shoulder strap retractor (Pilot's Information Manual 6-8-1 rev. April 1, 1944). I wouldn't be surprised if other aircraft had a similar feature as well. What would you do if you dropped your map? Fly inverted? Would you want (or dare) to undo your belts?
