Here's the deal: You know nothing about the subject. It annoys you greatly that there is obviously an area of an aircraft that has been overlooked in design safety and god forbid a mere "pax" point that out to you.
I can show you PBS specials, documentaries, and whole libraries dedicated to automobile safety involving the passenger compartment. We know how much force is created by the secondary collisions in an automobile - however no one can tell me how much force a turbulent drop causes when a body comes into contact with the ceiling.
OK...then how can we fix it. You keep attacking the poster but cannot post a substantive argument, just insults. Ball is in your court, run with it if you can.
Remember this isn't a automobile, this is an airliner moving hundreds of miles an hour that is severely and suddenly displaced. It also has to be lightweight and allow for passengers to have some level of comfort. Apparently, it also has to be able to do all that with a 150+ pound mass just floating around randomly.
