Someone said something about shoulder belts for pax in business class???! Is there such a thing in comercial planes?
skytrax,

In business class cabins, where the lie-flat seats are not facing fore and aft, but at an angle of about 30 degrees, there are various seat-belt arrangements to cope with restraining passengers.

On Cathay Pacific, the seat belt has a padded section over the passenger's forward-facing hip and a modifed buckle assembly.

On a flight last year, on Thai or Singapore (I cannot remember which), there was a separate diagonal shoulder strap, which had to be fastened for take-off and landing.
