Now understand, this is a five point harness that can only be unfastened by first turning the buckle and then depressing it with the butt of the hand--something only the pilot could have done. Did he unfasten the harness prior to forced landing (unlikely) or did he survive the crash (and subsequent fire) and succumb during an attempt to walk out?
Odd, considering that he nearly always wore a watch with an ELT.
