Canadian Forces knew Snowbirds had faulty lap belts for 5 years
The Canadian Forces knew that lap belts on the Snowbirds could unfasten unexpectedly for five years but did not do anything to replace them until one crash due to the problem in May.
One month after Capt. Shawn McCaughey lose control of his aircraft after his lap belt became undone during a practice in Montana, a new pilot-restraint system was installed on all the Snowbirds.
