Seal lock
I have a 1975 P337G. Once you get a little wear on the plastic rollers that the seat rides on, it takes a little effort to secure the pins in the holes on the right seat. Remember, this is the seat that sees more movement in getting in and out of the plane than all the other seats combined. It has happened so often that it is now part of my check list to ensure it is secure.
I don't want to speculate as to the cause of the mishap, but you can't eliminate the seat as a potential source of the crash. Also, if trim is set slightly tail low, once you rotate, it takes a lot of force to overcome the back thrust of the yoke. I really mean a lot of force! The plane wants to climb steeply and if you are not use to it, it will pitch up as you gain air speed.
