Is someone arguing to the contrary, that drink carts are less of a threat than the other items? Or are you saying drink carts should never be in the aisles during a flight? (Apologies if I am missing your point.)
I have been a few flights in 1A on a regional jet where I have a prime view of the galley during takeoff where a drink cart has gone for a ride. A couple instances the latch was broken and flipped up on its own and a couple others the FA forget to secure the drink cart. And wow the FAs pop out of their jumpseat quick to rescue the cart when it happens.
