Sikorsky Helicopter Seats, Instruments of Torture?!

All right, that's it, time for a public dummy spit.
What is it that makes helicopter designers think they can put a $2.50 seat in a multi-million dollar helicopter. I refer to the otherwise great S76 which other than the seat design is generally a top machine but...... The bloody seats are medieval torture instruments. It's just as well its a touring job because it takes most of my time off to get the not so old back straight again. My car, which is not that flash, has seats which are 10 times better than the S76. Hopefully the next incarnation of the 76 will have better thought out and more modern seats and if the designers just stick the old ones in again they need to be charged with some sort of crime against humanity!
