Turbulence injures dozens on Hawaiian Airlines flight
As one would expect in the cruise, neither the FR24 nor FlightAware plots are particularly detailed, but both are indicative of an eventful couple of minutes shortly before ToD.

"She did not have the chance to do up her safety belt before she "flew up and hit the ceiling", Ms Reyes said."
I suspect that she may have had about 5 hours of opportunity.
Damned flight attendants. I bet they only mentioned "keeping your seat belt fastened" about five or six times.
Totally inadequate.
Lawyeeeeeeeeeeeer.................................!!!

Here's what it actually said:
Passenger Kaylee Reyes told Hawaii News Now that her mother had just returned to her seat when the turbulence hit.
She did not have the chance to do up her safety belt before she "flew up and hit the ceiling", Ms Reyes said.

Every time there's an turbulence event we have to read the same old righteous comments from (some) posters. I have said countless times in past such threads that there will always be pax caught out by sheer bad luck. I am certainly one who keeps his seat belt on at all times except when I have to leave my seat to go to the restroom. For me that may be once on a 6.5 hour flight. There are however people with medical reasons to go more often. I know because my wife was, at one time, one. She may have needed to go four or five times on a flight of that duration. It stands to reason that with 260+ pax on board and the flight nearing its destination there were more than the average heading to and from the restroom. Yes, yes, there are for sure the odd few who fail to keep belts on during the cruise, but, from my own observations they are a small minority.

They’ll also make an announcement that goes something like this:
…blah blah blah we’ll be starting our descent shortly if you want to use the facilities do it now as the seatbelt sign will come on shortly blah blah blah….
So quite a few people may have been up an about.

How's they saying go - until you've walked a mile in a man's shoes...
