The first flyer fatality was in a Wright plane. An Army officer if memory serves me right.

What was the first plane that had seat belts and/or shoulder harnesses installed? Seems like I remember one of the Wrights' or Curtis' planes carried the dubious distinction of being involved in the first pilot fatality - which pointed up the need for strapping in the pilot. Anyone who knows the correct history on this, please enlighten me.
