PAX CABIN ATTENDANT BEHAVIOR PERSONAL INJURY AFTER INFLT ENCOUNTER WITH TURB EXPERIENCED.

Narrative

WE WERE IN A DSCNT TO CROSS RIDGE INTXN AT 11000 FT. OUR SPD WAS 250 KTS. AS WE ENTERED THE BROKEN CLOUDS TO OVCST; WE WERE NOT SHOWING ANY ECHOES ON THE RADAR. TURB WAS LIGHT INITIALLY; THEN WE EXPERIENCED A MODERATE BUMP. WE REQUESTED LOWER IMMEDIATELY; THE SEAT BELT SIGN HAD BEEN FOR THE ENTIRE FLT. THE CAPT HAD MADE A PA PRIOR TO ENTERING THE CLOUD DECK AND REITERATED TO EVERYONE TO FASTEN THEIR SEAT BELTS. ALSO HE TOLD THE FLT ATTENDANTS TO DISCONTINUE THEIR SVC. ONE PAX ON THE LAST ROW DID NOT HAVE HER SEAT BELT ON. WHEN WE HIT THE BUMP SHE HIT THE CEILING. ALSO THE FLT ATTENDANTS WERE UP TRYING TO STOW THE SVC CARTS. WE REQUESTED PARAMEDICS THROUGH THE COMPANY AND LANDED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 269296: PAX IN REAR DID NOT HAVE SEAT BELT ON AND WAS THROWN AGAINST THE CEILING WHICH RESULTED IN A SMALL CUT ON TOP OF HER HEAD. THE FLT ATTENDANTS WERE ALSO HURT IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO PUT AWAY THE SERVING CART. ALL WERE CHKED AT THE ACFT AND WERE SENT TO HOSPITAL IN TPA FOR FURTHER EXAM. THE FLT ATTENDANTS WERE RELEASED AND RETURNED TO THE MOTEL. I HAD NO FURTHER INFO ON THE PAX.
