I saw this a lot at GSR. This is a major safety issue that teams need to watch for.

Another big penalty that is saw numerous times was PS's not buckling thier seatbelt in the chair and center field. This is an easy thing to forget. This is why we make sure it is one of the first think or PS does...

I saw this mainly when PS's were retrieving the bins of balls from behind then they would spin around and not see where they were lacing their feet. I also saw this as they were reaching into the airlock they would misplace their feet.
