I read a book once by a Marine Lieutenant who had gone through flight training in Memphis in WWII using dual open cockpit bi-plane trainers. The instructor sat in front and the student in back.
The Lieutenant told about once a student in his unit forgot to buckle his lap belt. During the course of the ride, the instructor pulled the plane up into a loop.

Forgot to buckle his lap belt, but he at least had the presence of mind to use his parachute when he needed it.
