His seatbelt broke. There are a couple possibilities. The first is that his belt was already loose, and since he was a fairly large guy the weight thrown into the loose belts was enough to break them and throw him out of the rail. The second is that since his seat was broke in the accident, maybe that's where the slack in the belt came from. Some people blamed faulty seatbelts but Crow makes good stuff and that has never happened before.
As far as your question on how to prevent it, keep your belt snug, make sure the belts attach no lower than 6 inches below your shoulders on the tube behind you, solid mount your seat as tracks are a weak point and make sure the seat is firmly attached to a roll bar right behind it so it can't break and bend backward like the Funco rail did...
