In "The Old Days", bassoonists played in marching bands, carrying their instruments all over Europe during the campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars. Incredibly, the instruments were suspended from a button hole on their coats.
Since that time, people have gotten a bit more sensible, and the bassoon is usually excluded from any moving musical experience. Most players of my acquaintance have played with seat straps, although that neck strap ring is still there for all to see.
Most players does not include a guy that I know who went through UCLA playing sax and bassoon, and who has always played with a neck strap. And, there's nothing wrong with the way that he plays.
