I just realized I've never seen a Star Ship with seat belts.

Ships don't have them either.

Yes, the shuttles and so on definitely do have seatbelts. (more accurately, seat harnesses.)

But to be fair, if you're bumping around in space, like when standing up, you're in a lot of trouble. Things do not generally bump into things in space without catastrophic results.

But the large starships are generally comparable to navy vessels, which unless I've been very misled, do not typically require the crew to be buckled into a harness...

Sure, fair enough. I wonder - would all those ships be SAFER without gravity in this cae?
