The problem is that if not put on correctly the harness's safety belt lock is not really locked and can be opened if something hits it for example and this appears to have happened to the Saudi pilot. On the harness used by Tornado an Phantom pilots for example, there is an additional clip which should prevent the belt lock from opening unintentionally.
