The only people we ever strapped in were observation riders (for obvious reasons) we just used to have everyone come forward on takeoff (in a 182) then sit back down once the climb was established
I think the sport
has changed a lot though. It used to be a 182 in a field with no facilities and now it's become a lot like skiing with purpose built airports flying "real" aircraft, food for sale, air conditioned packing areas ... and wind tunels. Took some of the fun out of it really
