Might it have been the old "Cessna Seat Pin" story, although I thought that was a purely a C172 issue?
Shouldn't happen on a 172 now, there is a free ( last time I looked) kit from Cessna that adds an inertia seatbelt to the base of the seat that bolts to the floor, stopping the P1 seat shooting back. Just look up the current revision as they keep extending the deadline.
