If bracing for impact is good enough for the Enterprise, it's good enough for my Hyundai.

"Inertial dampeners have failed."

Many times someone will say this while the ships is performing combat maneuvers at several hundred kilometers per second.

If that were true, everyone onboard would instantly become "chunky salsa." (Obscure Trek-related quote, for anyone that can place it.)

THEY DO HAVE THEM! Every once in a while a trek will show seatbelts and then proceed to forget about them later.
