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" ).
OOhhh...I wanna play.

Okay, well, what if they decide to abort, and the pilot without the seatbelt gets trust forward and his leg goes straight into one of the rudder pedals, causing the plane to violently veer off the runway and on to the parellel runway right in front of a 747 on its takoff roll, the two planes colide, there is a huge explosion, 400 dead passengers and crew, and it turns into one of those infamous stories that they teach about in airline ground schools. Would the investigatiors not say they should have continued the takeoff?
