The system is for use by an astronaut on high speed aircraft and space vehicles. The system includes a harness which holds the knee of an astronaut in such a manner that full mobility of the thighs, calves and feet is permitted while the femur is forced into the pelvic socket to prevent submarining. The knee harness is made of a network of straps which criss-cross at the knee to hold the femur back into the pelvic socket.
