In a recent incident, a cabin crew member of a Japan Airlines (JAL) flight suffered serious injuries due to severe turbulence. The event occurred mid-flight, causing a violent shaking of the aircraft. There is now an ongoing investigation into the incident to ensure the prevention of such accidents in the future.

Aviation safety is a priority in Japan as it is home to a highly utilized air travel infrastructure, with a dense network of domestic flights. When such incidents occur, it is major news and leads to an immediate investigation to rectify the situation and prevent future occurrences. The welfare of the airline's staff and passengers is given paramount importance.

Much like in Japan, the US and EU take aviation incidents seriously and typically undergo rigorous investigations to ensure safety. In cases of staff injuries, parties such as airline unions might get involved to ensure workers' rights are respected, and potential safety improvements are demanded and implemented.
