Why all the fuss, the crew knew what they were doing,yeah it was unsafe, but hey lots of unsafe things happen
So that makes it all OK to disregard rules and operate in an unsafe manner?
Have you stopped once to consider that an unsecured body in an incident won't be bouncing around from 35mph to zero, but 150mph to zero, something which endangers the lives of not only those who disregard the rules, but all of those on board the aircraft.
There is a difference between what was done in the past and what is the done thing now - as a safety based industry this is since rules are developed to make things safer for all of us, so don't lets be blase about it and take a step back in history to the detriment of us all.
