A modal restraint system (100) for an occupant (104) of a seat (106) of an aircraft (10) includes a strap feeder unit (120) and a strap (108) selectively retractable into and extendable from the strap feeder unit (120). The strap (108) is positionable adjacent to the occupant (104) so as to dispose the occupant (104) between the strap (108) and the seat (106). The strap feeder unit (120) is adapted to switch between a plurality of modes including an unfixed mode and a fixed mode. The strap (108) is extendable from and retractable into the strap feeder unit (120) in the unfixed mode. The strap (108) is substantially unextendable from the strap feeder unit (120) in the fixed mode. The strap feeder unit (120) is in the unfixed mode by default. The strap feeder unit (120) is operable to switch to the fixed mode in response to a precautionary event, thereby reducing freedom of movement of the occupant (104) relative to the seat (106) of the aircraft (10).
