While the importance of the cabin crew safety role cannot be emphasised enough,
I think it unlikely that there has ever been a life threatening incident onboard an aircraft that can be attributed to cabin crew fatigue.
Fatigue will definitely have an impact on performance in normal situations, ie slides can be accidentally set off on the ground due to fatigue, but such incidents seem to only produce procedural changes to combat them.
Maybe someone can provide some examples of accidents or incidents in which the investigation stated that cabin crew fatigue was a reason for loss of life or injury.
