Why doesn't Star Trek Enterpise bridge offer seat belts for the crew members?
In honor of its 50 year history, I have been watching a few reruns of the original TV show Star Trek. The episodes are very advanced and backward at the same time. Entertaining.
I noticed every time the Enterprise is hit or subjected to an enemy magnetic field or torpedo, the crew is thrown around like dice a board game. Half the crew falls out of their chairs or has to hold on blindly. The crew members who must stand near the blinking light consoles get it even worse. Invariably one or two will fall over the railing.
Have they not figured out that seat belts would make a useful addition to the seating arraignments?
