I also have little sympathy for any pax up-ended in turbulence when the belt sign is on. If he/she lands on top of me I wouldn't be best pleased. It happens from time to time but I generally find the crew on CX are there like a shot when they see it.
On Wednesday inbound from CEB, the sign went on about 120 miles out after an early announcement from the flight deck so everyone was ready for it, particularly given the weather conditions around HK at the time.
The pax have no one to blame but themselves
.
Hope the crew recover well
