Ugh.
When I was a flight attendant, the seat belt sign would be on and the passengers would be given the PA about turbulence. There were always those who refused to keep their belt on. I would ask them to and when they refused, I reminded them that turbulence was invisible and we hit it going about 600 mph. If they still refused, I would let them know if they didn’t care about themselves, neither did I but the people around them that would be hurt.
Even with no warning, no bad weather- nothing - going into Pittsburgh we hit turbulence so badly we dropped about 1000 ft and had to make an emergency landing with assorted injuries. I hit the ceiling and the beverage cart which gave me a free ride to the ER. Landing on the upright Coke can was a nice painful bonus and they thought my leg was broken. The Delta flight in front of us had flight attendants with broken bones and the ambulances were busy that night.
Just keep your belt on.
