@rubik101 I would argue that the 5 point harness protects the crew better as in the event of a crash landing as they are 'pinned' in position rather than held across the waist so are able to assist with the evacuation, etc.

If they only had a lap belt then they would be subject to the same forces as the pax and may not be able to assist afterwards.
