    Because even in a tea clipper there would be no needs for seatbelts, and seriously, a red alert should also mean “Buckle up”. no more flying round the bridge at every torpedo hit, and how much voltage goes though those terminals? they should not explode, put some breakers maybe!!!

      “One hand for the ship and one for yourself” is an old naval motto.

      They actually tied guys to the helm all the time. Usually because of the weather, and sometimes because they’d been away from land for too long.
