Had pen momentarily suspended in mid-air with associated caption flicker when encountering severe turb while LL on EMS job (AS 350 B2)......reduce to turb penetration speed......tighten seat belts....calm flight nurse....and dream of days flying Lynx in the Bog. Some are made to do it, some are not...some can - but leave you wondering whether "the total inability to look facts in the face will actually see you through".
