Are serving carts ever an issue during turbulence? Cannot remember reading about any instance where those caused injury.
Yes. A colleague of mine was flying first on SABENA when they hit turbulance, a cart came flying down the aisle from the rear of the plane towards the open cockpit door (remember those happy pre-terrorist days), cabin staff getting out of the way, coffee and tea flying everywhere scalding passengers. My colleague tackled the cart and stopped it entering the cockpit and doing nasty things there.
SABENA - do we all remember for what the letters stood ?
