It can definitely be dangerous to people without seat belts on. If you have an infant in your lap, make sure they’re buckled in too. If the plan suddenly drops, the person holding the infant won’t always have the time to react and the infant can hit the ceiling. A friend of mine is an attendant and she has seen this happen a few times, sometimes with really bad consequences for the infant.
