People must have their heads in funny places when sleeping if a normally reclining seat whacks them on the head hard enough for that to happen.
I completely agree with you. The way I'm picturing it is maybe the seat recliner did a slam-back recline, the woman's head got bumped, and because she was groggy or in a grumpy disposition for whatever reason, she blew up.

But my knee-jerk response is that I've seen some many DMs start screaming and swearing over far less than getting whacked in the head.
