Acceleration strap

An acceleration strap was a type of safety harness that served to safely restrain the passengers and pilots of spacecraft and airspeeders. They were considered to be an essential component for seating aboard spacecraft because an individual risked injury if he or she was not restrained when a ship took off, landed, accelerated, decelerated or performed high-speed maneuvers.
