I never used a harness, but I was flying in Huey's. And, I fell out of a helicopter once upon a time. Luckily he was flaring to land and I didn't fall far, but it hurt. I fell on my back, ruptured a canteen, bruised a kidney, and limped away from the LZ. My platoon thought it was awesome and my platoon sergeant thought I was an idiot.
That was a long time ago, but I never remember wearing a safety harness as a passenger. The door gunners were tied in but the passengers were loose.
Does use of the safety harness also mean he ain't Cav?

Yep, it's Navy or Marine. Wearing a standard LPA-1 survival harness.
