Perhaps because we manage to keep control of these situations without using unreasonable force?
Yeah, we're almost given carte blanche when dealing with these situations, but trying to hurt people isn't in the nature of most cabin crew.
I suspect the one time we have to really use force to restrain someone - keeping in mind that when the adrenellin is running it takes a lot to hurt someone - we'll be facing some serious questions from people a little more powerful than our own line managers .
