Yeah, and this is a much more frequent thing than crashes. I've been on planes multiple times when there was sudden turbulence and people without seatbelts lifted out of their seats. I don't think any of my personal experiences resulted in someone hitting their head, but that happens. There was just video of one earlier this year.

Ive seen a loaded drink cart get a few inches of the floor, though that one was intense enough that even the flight attendants adopted an "oh fuck we're about to die" face, which is comforting

Probably less of an "everyone is going to die" and more of a "everyone is going to start screaming and vomiting" look.

No, though I get what you mean, I locked eyes with this woman as my ass came off the seat and she death gripped the cart, I think she might legitimately have been momentarily worried about hitting her head on the ceiling and breaking her neck (had a friend be a hostess and she said the training absolutely mentions that)

As soon as they were touching the floor again they moved as fast as they could to their area, locked it down, and strapped in hard, and the captain yelled in Japanese over the intercom for a couple minutes before finally translating in English that we were fine, clearly freaked out

I know planes are safe but that experience at 1am over the pitch black Pacific ocean occasionally flashes back to me when I'm on planes because holy shit what the FUCK happened

Exactly as you describe.

That scene in the pilot episode of Lost. That's why.
