To be honest i think the only ones that can claim for physical injury are ones that were not seated.
Any one that was seated, knows as stated by almost every airline that they have their seat belt on, for this very reason. |
Faulty avionics was the cause
Not wearing a seat belt during cruise might be contributory negligence but it is not disentitling, especially given that there had been not a skeric of turbulence.
|
At least 60 of the aircraft’s passengers were seated without their seat belts fastened at the time of the first pitch-down. Consistent with previous in-flight upset accidents, the injury rate, and injury severity, was substantially greater for those who were not seated or seated without their seat belts fastened.
Passengers are routinely reminded every flight to keep their seat belts fastened during flight whenever they are seated, but it appears some passengers routinely do not follow this advice. This investigation provided some insights into the types of passengers who may be more likely not to wear seat belts, but it also identified that there has been very little research conducted into this topic by the aviation industry |
Bit of a look at the human side of the incident

ATSB questions still unanswered ...

If you have not read Captain Kevin Sullivan book on QF72. I would suggest you get a copy. It is an easy book to read and an amazing story. A very courageous crew
