A FLT ATTENDANT ON A B737 WAS INJURED IN A FALL DURING A FAST TAXI TO THE TKOF RWY.

Narrative

WHILE WE TAXIED TO THE RWY; I WAS LITERALLY THROWN; R ARM FIRST; INTO THE BASE OF THE #2 JUMPSEAT. I TRIED TO BREAK THE FALL; BUT COULDN'T. WE WERE TAXIING FAST AND MAKING QUICK TURNS AS WE HEADED TO THE RWY. I CAUGHT MYSELF A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT THE THIRD TURN THREW ME WITH LITTLE TO GRAB ON TO. I FLEW INTO THE BASE OF MY JUMPSEAT; ELBOW FIRST WITH THE WT OF MY BODY SLAMMING THE SAME SPOT. I IMMEDIATELY ICED MY ARM; LET THE #4 FLT ATTENDANT DO THE SAFETY CHKS AND STRAPPED MYSELF INTO MY JUMPSEAT (IMMEDIATE TKOF FOLLOWING MY FALL) MINUS MY R SHOULDER HARNESS. AFTER 1 HR INTO THE FLT; I CALLED THE PLTS TO REMOVE ME FROM MY NEXT FLT SINCE I COULD NO LONGER EVAC AN AIRPLANE. THE PAIN WAS NOT SUBSIDING. I WAS ALSO HAVING TROUBLE MAKING A FIST AND PRESSING MY FOREFINGER AND THUMB TOGETHER AND FELT QUEASY IN MY STOMACH. THE CAPT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE WAS TAXIING AGGRESSIVELY. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER TIMES I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ERRATIC TYPE OF TAXIING TO THE TKOF RWY WITH OTHER PLTS. WE SHOULD BE WARNED OF A QUICK TAXI SO FLT ATTENDANTS CAN TAKE PRECAUTIONS; SUCH AS TAKING A SEAT AND STRAPPING IN!
