I probably used the wrong choice of words, I was actually speaking to the shoulder harness and not the secondary seat stops/restraints.
I worked an accident where the pilot was found in the cockpit with the shoulder harness tucked behind the seat in what seemed like a survivable accident but contact with instrument panel precluded his chance to make the choice again...
