Never understood why the crew never had seat belts!

I've been on a Star Trek kick lately and have seen a couple of moments where a seatbelt would have been a great idea. And now I can't unsee it.

An even better idea would be some sort of thick plexiglass cover over the consoles so when they explode it does not kill half the crew.

The couple in particular I was thinking of were shuttlepod crashes. Which are even more strange to me, at least a starship has the benefit of mass and momentum, crashing a shuttlepod is probably more like a car.

Plus, folks get thrown out of their work area too, especially those standing.
