Proper safety harnesses significantly reduce the risk of serious injury or death compared to simple lap belts, keeping pilots and front passengers securely restrained during accidents, hard landings, or severe turbulence."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations/documents"}}
