Why would incapacitated pilots be exerting pressure on the yoke?

Because they fell over on it. A well documented scenario in the real world.

Virtually nobody here uses this stuff day in and day out. Most of the pilots
here are low-time private pilots, although they might fancy themselves
captains of the sky.

Yes, by definition, they are. Once you become quualified and certificated and
assume control of an aircraft, you are pilot in command. What's really
disturbing is that there are people without any of the above qualificfations or
experience who consider themselves qualified to pass judgement. Such people are
potentially dangerous.

Really? Incapacitated pilots who overcome a five-point harness and fall all
the way forward onto the yoke? Can you point me to some examples?

Ho-hum.

Like aircraft engineers, you mean?

No, retarded, antisocial cave dwellers like yourself.

He was really quite clear, try to keep up.

Except for the lap belt the rest of the 5 point harness is not
required except for takeoff, landing, and taxi. You don't sit in the
5 point harness for the entire flight. Falling forward onto the yoke
wouldn't be a big problem enroute.

For example of being unrestrained enroute would be the pilot who went
out the front window when it popped out due to improper maintenance:

Back to my killbox. You still just don't even want to do any of your
own thought or research.
