Pax that does not wear seatbelt - a hazard?

In addition to what others have described, the greatest injury risk to an unbuckled passenger is a head injury caused by flying straight up out of their seat during a vertical shear event. I personally don't care but I would gladly testify for an airline sued by an injured passenger who I personally witnessed not buckled up.
