Interesting footage, obviously the rules in the US allow the use of
lap belts for passengers as opposed to a full harness, rather
dangerous I would have thought. I notice the pilot is wearing a
harness perhaps passengers especiallyworld famous BBC personalities
are expendibile!

The Schweitzer 2-32 is allowed to carry two passengers in the back
seat. Hard to see how they can both have shoulder harnesses. It may
have been certified before shoulder harnesses were a requirement.
They haven't always been such.
Before inertia reel harnesses for the shoulder straps there were
cases where wearing the shoulder harness tight was more dangerous
than leaving it off - like when someone was trying to kill you. Best
to see him first.
