Who woulda thunk that people in the future would be so short-sighted about the seatbelt mandate?

1. If they didn't fall all over the place, what fun would the show have been?

2. LOL

Enterprise is a Military Ship.
No Seatbelt mandates on ships of a bigger size.

But yeah, funny.

3. I can give you a warp drive or an automatic restraint system.

But not both, which is it?

4. Why not just turn off the ship's artificial gravity machine when that happens?

As long as one holds onto something or is seated, they won't be tossed around like that.

5. The actors knew how to throw themselves around.

I wonder if anyone got hurt.

When did seatbelts start showing up in cars.

6. Front-seat lap belts were required (in the U.S.) in '65... front shoulder and rear lap belts in '68.

Mandatory wearing of those seatbelts started state-by-state in 1984 -- now all states have
SOME form of mandatory wearing law except New Hampshire.
.
Ironically, they're the "Live Free or Die" state.

7. That would explain why the crew didn't have seat belts.

Star Trek went off air about the time car seat belts became common.



Not everyone had a new car with seat belts.

Hell the show had transporters so why not some kind off seat belts for the crew.



This could make your head hurt.
