I have my FAA and TC pilot's licenses, I ALMOST finished my Commercial license (but ran out of money), and my best flying buddy got his aerobatic rating because he is crazy.

You can turn your head, you can look behind you, you can move around. I was flying two weeks ago upside-down in a Citabria and tried it. Even checked through an aileron roll. You just don't tighten the shoulder straps as much. I also still retain my hands in flight, so I can tighten and loosen as required. Admittedly, it doesn't feel so good upside-down to be hanging in the seat a little loose, but if my life depended on it I am sure I could deal with it.

I use TrackIR, because it feels like I am really in the plane. Ever try pulling the Johnson-bar flap handle in a Piper Cherokee sitting bolt upright? It's just not realistic to expect that my head won't move around.
