I agree with everyone above.

But now lets say, that the improbable happens, the airplane hits some massive turbulence on take-off and the pilot without the seat-belt gets launched from his seat and in some way with his body blocks the controls somehow, causing the airplane to somehow crash (yea, very specific I know lol) I imagine everyone would probably be all over the flight-crew for not having their seat-belts secured, and that they should have aborted the take-off when they had the chance and when one of the pilots saw the other without seatbelts on the take-off roll. I wonder how the investigation would play out, assuming that on the voice recorder, during the take-off roll the seat-belts are mentioned (which they probably wouldnt be, but lets say "what if" ).
