Hitting the wall

Does anyone have a comment on the fact the PF (right seat) was found with lap belt undone and his audio channel sounding like he hit his mic on a wall? This correlates with the maxima of the acceleration graph on page 43 (+ 1.15g up).
Anyone know if AF pilots always fly with restraints attached or treat them in a casual manner? I could not find the AF policy for pilot seat belts.
