As a former Air Controller and undestanding that planes can fly and do fly through a vacuum condition where their is no air, can drop 10k in seconds hurdling people head first into the upper ceiling, yes doing serious damage.I never take my seat belt off unless I need to go to the bathroom, and even then I hold on the back of each seat I pass to make sure I have something to hold onto.

This is why we are advised to wear our seat belts at all times. It doesn't have to be tight or restrictive.Working Sparky
I don't fly anymore, but when I did, I always thought that everyone should continue to wear their seat beats during the flight. They walk around the thing like it's a hotel foyer, not a care in the world, in reality moving at 500-600 knots! Maybe the creatures need to strap in, unless they need the kaasi!jasonw3
Exactly why people should stay seated and wear your seatbelt. The Russians love to stand up, walk around, do random stuff during a flight....anything but follow the rules. If they had been seated and belted in, the outcome likely would have been less severe.Me
This is exactly why 'lap babies' shouldn't be a thing - the safest place for under 5's is buckled into a car seat that is safely secured to their chair. I recently cancelled a BA flight because they told me I would have to remove my son from his car seat during take off, landing and turbulence (ie most dangerous portions of the flight!) absolute madness!!!MeReply toMe
Tatts - those things are illegal in every other country.. they're more dangerous to the baby than no belt! They just protect other passengers from a flying projectile (the baby) in the event of turbulence. I won't type it all here but if you have young kids I'd recommend researching the physics of those belts.Old Cynic.
Airline pilots always warn passengers of turbulence so they should have all had seat belts on.!!Marble11
Everyone laughs when I sit with my seatbelt on the whole flight, I hate flying and this would be my worst nightmare.dan.de.lyon
It is always turbulent over the Andaman sea. Go to the loo before you start crossing it and remain in your seat with the belt secured.
