They never really show acceleration and deceleration onboard a spaceship affecting the crew so why bother with seat belts (that would be a pain for the actors to use)? Besides what good would they do if you actually hit something large in space at the speed of light.
If you were going FTL, then you would just pass through it, without noticing.
In ST:TOS, they command crew on the bridge were often thrown around in battle scenes, etc.
Handheld phasers would be cool if somebody comes up with a batterY that hold crazy amounts of energy and would not short out in your pocket.
Surely, the Star Trek phasers didn't need anything more than an LR44!
