Imagine it like potholes on a road. They cause the car to shake and rumble a bit but nothing really serious happens unless it is knee deep. Fortunately the air is fluid and can’t let that harsh of a pothole happen that’s why it’s not likely for a plane to get damaged at all by turbulence.

The ones that flight attendants hit the ceiling are the ones that are wild and the reason that you should want to always wear your seatbelts but again, the plane wouldn’t get hurt.
