Would the investigatiors not say they should have continued the takeoff? |
I imagine at that point they would have to revise the FAR on seatbelts to something like "seatbelts must be fastened during taxi-takeoff-landing, unless the fastening of, or measures taken to fasten, or attempts made to fasten seatbelts during the above listed operations, will compromise the safety of the flight or operation."
