A personal restraint system configured for use with a seat oriented perpendicular to a direction of flight of an aircraft is provided including a lap portion and a shoulder portion. The lap portion includes a first belt having a belt buckle and a second belt having a belt connector. The first belt is arranged a first side of the seat and the second belt is arranged adjacent a second side of the seat. The belt connector removably couples to the belt buckle. A shoulder portion includes a retractable third belt having a coupling configured to selectively couple to one of the belt buckle and the belt connector. A pretensioner operably coupled to either the first belt or the second belt includes at least one sensor configured to monitor one or more aircraft conditions. Upon detection of a predetermined aircraft condition, the pretensioner applies tension to the first or second belt.
