Out of over 270 passengers and crew, only two were injured - one crew and one passengers. Everyone else was completely unscathed.
I suppose when you are pulling >5 g's everyone pretty much remains in their seats whether they are wearing their seat belts or not.

Maybe there were few serious injuries to passengers but I bet their underpants were not so lucky.
