Synopsis
B-737 air carrier crew reported an unlocked galley cart became loose during landing rollout on a ferry flight. The galley cart damaged the flight deck door and allowed broken dishes from the cart to enter the cockpit and the First Officer suffered a cut on their arm.
Narrative
On the day of the incident I was the pilot flying; so when we arrived to the aircraft I headed to the flight deck and started working on loading the FMS and getting all of the flight deck test completed. The captain offered to do the walk around and took care of arming the slides before departure. I am unaware if the galley carts in the back were checked that morning. After landing in ZZZ on RWY XXL the auto brakes came on and I deployed the thrust reversers; as we were slowing down to exit the runway we heard a loud boom" and right after a load of white glass dishes came flying into the flight deck. It appeared that a galley cart came loose upon landing and broke the lower panel of the flight deck door. Through that lower panel all the glass dishes came in. I still had my arm on the center console over the thrust levers and got a 3 inch cut on my lower arm. We got off the runway and continued to taxi to the gate. After parking the plane the captain took me to a clinic and stayed with me during the medical checks to make sure that I was taken care of."
Second reporter narrative
