Yes, i have experienced that too.
But i don't know th correct word for it.
It is a bad case that the passengers had no belts on.
Or was it all a fault of the pilot, who turned out the seatbelt switch? icon_rolleyes.gif

Even when the seatbelt sign is off, pax are advised that it is recommended they keep it on while seated just in case of unexpected events like this.

But if the pilot switches on the seatbelt switch, people are self-opinionated.
If you are thinking what '' self-opinionated '', that are not listening people that think they could do it better. icon_rolleyes.gif
