The National Transportation Safety Board's report underscores that during turbulence, seatbelts are crucial; all injured passengers were not wearing them despite the sign being on.
The flight's first officer communicated the expected turbulence to the crew for their safety, emphasizing the need to be seated and buckled up at that time.
Injuries ranged from fractured vertebrae to muscle strains, with the most severe cases noting that none of the injured passengers adhered to the safety protocols.
One passenger experienced significant trauma, with a fractured rib and four vertebrae; this incident illustrates the importance of strict adherence to seatbelt regulations in aviation.
