Under the circumstances I can't imagine how this could be true. The captain would likely have belted himself into the center seat but I haven't read that anywhere - it's the first thing I'd do though.
Yes, it is in the report. page 41.
1.12.4.2.1 3 Les sièges du cockpit
- Sur le siège situé en place gauche, les ceintures ventrales étaient attachées, la ceinture de l’entrejambe et les harnais d’épaules ne l’étaient pas.
- Sur le siège situé en place droite aucune ceinture n’était attachée.
From the recovered seats, they found that PNF had used only the belly seat belts, none were used on PF seat (and it was suggested elsewhere that Captain was standing behind them - not seated).
