Just happy to be here.
It kinda seems a no brainer sometimes, like youre sitting…just put your damn belt on… kinda like kicking the box with your flotation device (to make sure you can find it) or actually seeing which exit is closer to your seat (in front or behind)…Im perhaps the epitome of NFG in an airplane (as long as the wings stay on), but even I can take an extra 10 seconds.
Also, severe turb is no joke. I have literally told ATC to “standby, otherwise ill bite my tongue off” while accepting vectors.

Funny how some of these posts go downhill when he injects himself into it.

So the cloud shot up in front of them so fast they said they had no time to avoid it?

Plume-like cloud ‘shot’ in front of Hawaiian Airlines flight seconds before turbulence injured 25, pilot says
The pilot on the Dec. 18 flight from Phoenix to Honolulu said conditions were smooth when a smoke-like plume appeared in front of the Airbus A330.

My wife and I flew LAX-HNL 2 weeks ago on the A330. An hour after takeoff my wife reclines her seat to lie flat mode and begins snoozing. A few minutes later I remembered this story so I checked her seatbelt. Unbuckled! I reached over and buckled her up. People sitting unbuckled in seats in cruise will never end. Too many unaware people that never pay attention to 90% of what’s going on outside 3 ft radius of themselves

In all honesty, I sometimes unbuckle mine, too. But I do so knowing I have a (very low probability) chance of getting injured.
Every time.
At bare minimum keep it at least buckled comfortably/loosely.
Not saying anything about the case in question, but I've witnessed some people doing some profoundly dumb things in the weather and it not turning out well.

That happened one day to me! We're getting our butts kicked, the trainee did all the captain things he should do then said "I'm going to call and have them take their jumpseats, but want to do a bathroom break?"
Really, bro? Ha!

Coming into Vegas tonight I heard a PA for somebody to sit down. We were just a couple minutes from landing. I dropped the gear and I immediately heard somebody leave the bathroom.
Because literally if you're too close to the gate, 200 people think they're all "Zone 1" and phalanyx any attempt to escape the gate area to whizz!
