Most air travelers at some point or another will experience turbulence. There are varying degrees of turbulence, from minor bumps and shakes to more extreme and even violent experiences, which arouses fear and may result in injuries. What exactly is turbulence? According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), it is air movement created by atmospheric pressure, cold or warm weather fronts or thunderstorms, jet streams, or air around mountains. Although skies may appear clear, turbulence can be unexpected and still happen.
There are things passengers can do to avoid injuries. The FAA suggests passengers should listen to flight attendants-paying attention to the safety briefing at the start of the flight and reading the safety-briefing card. Also, wearing your seatbelt at all times is a way to remain safe, even if the captain has turned the seatbelt sign off. If your child is under two, make sure you use an approved child safety seat or device. Adhering to the airline’s carry-on policy and restrictions can also prevent Inflight injuries. From 2002-2013, there were 430 injuries caused by air turbulence, the figure including crewmembers.
