I get the speculation that we might be better off with three- or five-point harnesses, but I don't get the complaints about the design of the belt and buckle itself. It's bad because it's out of style or something?
I can't think of a more user-friendly solution to the problem it's actually trying to solve. I wouldn't trade the reel system with low profile plastic-encased push-button buckles in my car for it, but I'm not interested in digging around between the cushions for whatever proprietary design the particular cabin manufacturer of the plane I'm on has come up with, I want something standard that's right in front of me in plain view. And I don't want a reel system either. Every reel system made for public use I've seen has had way too much friction and way too little spring tension to even make sense. And not being able to see the state of the belt and reel tensioning doesn't seem very safe either.
