Hmmm ..... I do not recall ever seeing any aircraft harnesses secured by anything like that. That looks more like something you would see in a car to fasten baggage straps with. I can't recall the recommended rating, but most aircraft belts loop thru a plate which is then attached by a bolt or by cable ends to a substantial load bearing point of the airframe. I think they are designed with quite a high g-load rating (don't recall the load rating and it probably varies with class of aircraft) to resist the 100+ lbs being slammed forward in the event of sudden stoppage.
