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

      That’s what the inertial dampeners are for!

      … if they were working

        “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.)

        But then they can’t get infected by the secret bioengineered virus left behind by the extinct species!

          That would of course be a missed opportunity to tell the millionth variation of a space horror story almost as old as the sci-fi genre itself.

        Then gatekeeping fans will say it breaks canon, has to be an alternate timeline/universe because they didn’t need those in TOS/TNG.

        Oh, wait, that’s one of the criticisms of the environmental suits in Discovery and SNW…

          There are a lot of things to criticize about Discovery. How someone could choose to pick the spacesuits evades me.

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