A male passenger sustained head and back injuries after falling inside the forward lavatory of an aircraft flying in smooth, level conditions.

What happened

The aircraft was operating in smooth air while maintaining straight and level flight. The 'fasten seat belt' warning sign was illuminated during this phase of the operation. A male passenger proceeded to the forward lavatory, where he experienced a fall. This incident resulted in injuries to his head and back.

The investigation

Investigators examined the condition of the lavatory floor immediately following the event. They confirmed that the flooring was dry and free of any loose or torn carpeting. There were no other loose objects present in the area that could have contributed to a slip or stumble. Despite these checks, the specific reason for the fall remained undetermined.
