How much difference does being belted make during extreme turbulence? I imagine the majority of injuries come from people out of their seats and loose items in the cabin. Remaining belted seems sensible in any case (as it reduces risk of being thrown around the cabin) but I wonder what reduction that has on injury in practice.
