Yet one in a million (or even lower chance) scenarios in the airline industry and aviation world (and elsewhere) are commonplace to drive safety requirements, certain actions, etc. I elect to do what minimizes the amount of time I spend standing, unbelted. If I’m in the front part of Y and the front lav is occupied but the rear lavs are open, I walk to the back.

“Opinions vary”.
And I fully admit to doing it because it’s best for me - it’s what’s best for my bladder and what’s best for my safety. It’s reasonable to me and it’s reasonable enough that the airlines ask me to stay seated with my seatbelt fastened for that same reason (unexpected turbulence). I’ve been up and about on a jet more than a few times when it has hit turbulence and it’s not fun, so my behavior will continue to be the same whether you find it reasonable or not
