I was seated at my posit once when we went through evasive maneuvers to avoid a SAM. Strapped down of course....but all of our coffee cups and everything else on the console lifted off to the overhead. We would have too had it not been for the belts.

I'm a Michael Crichton fan....his book Airframe will give you a good idea of what can happen in an aircraft during violent maneuvers. A good read too.

Fasten your seat belt and hold on to your lunch.
