Apparently that is *quite* uncomfortable, and pilots learn to unhook it when walking during their first week of training, when they suit up for the simulator - before they ever even get in an actual jet. Since Bush apparently never even showed up for any flight training, let alone actually piloted a plane, his ignorance is not surprising.

Although it is my understanding that a real aviator knows that he can unhook those straps when he's on the ground.... Garf is correct.

My bet is that he's wearing a harness of some sort under his flight suit and that's what's making things appear larger than they actually are.
