Usually harmless turbulence can be dangerous, deadly

* Story Highlights
* Three turbulence-related deaths since 1980, FAA says
* At least two of the three were people not wearing seat belts
* Turbulence is caused by quick changes in air movement
* Air pockets from "clear-air" turbulence are hard to detect

(CNN) -- It's a moment familiar to any regular air traveler.

The plane bucks up and down, lurches forward and back, or both. Sometimes overhead bins fly open. The squeamish gasp. Babies cry. Then, usually, it's all over.

In-flight turbulence is often a mere inconvenience. But it's also the leading cause of airline passenger injuries that are not associated with a fatal crash, experts say.

And, on rare occasions, it can be deadly.

In the case of Monday's Continental Flight 128, an unexpected blast of air led to much more than jangled nerves, bumps and bruises.

Turbulence struck the flight, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Houston, Texas, unexpectedly, injuring seven passengers badly enough to require hospitalization after the pilot diverted the flight to Miami, Florida.

Police said 26 passengers were injured, four seriously. Learn more about airline turbulence �

Turbulence, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, is caused by a quick change in air movement. Jet streams, air shooting off of mountains, cold or warm weather fronts and thunderstorms can all cause changes in speed or direction.

The rapid shift in gravity force -- or G-force -- can cause a sensation not unlike being whipped around on a roller coaster. Most of the time, discomfort is the worst byproduct.

"Normally, it's an inconvenience," said Kevin Garrison, a retired Delta Air Lines pilot living in Lexington, Kentucky. "Very rarely does it hurt passengers, which is odd because a lot of them don't keep their seat belts on."

And wearing seat belts, aviation officials say, is the best way to stay safe.

"In the event that something happens," said Les Dorr, a spokesman for the FAA, "that's the best advice that we or anyone else can give passengers."

Since 1980, three people have been killed in turbulence-related accidents, according to the administration. At least two of those deaths involved passengers who reportedly were not wearing seat belts while the seat-belt sign was on.

There have been 234 turbulence-related accidents since 1980, and 114 passengers were seriously injured in those accidents, the FAA reported.

Flight attendants have been hurt at a much higher rate. During that same time period, 184 attendants were seriously injured, despite their numbers being far smaller than the number of passengers.

"The majority of injuries actually happen to flight attendants," Dorr said. "They have to be up performing their tasks, even when the seat-belt light is on."

And while pilots are almost always strapped in with seat belts, even they aren't exempt.

"I've had a few bloodied heads -- when I hit my head on the overhead when the seat belt was a little loose," said Garrison, who flew for Delta for 27 years.

In Monday's accident, passengers reported they were slammed into the Boeing 767's ceiling -- some said two or more times -- when the plane dropped rapidly.

"I saw people being thrown to the roof as if they were dolls," Fabio Ottolini, who was returning to Houston with his wife and daughter after visiting family in Brazil, told CNN affiliate KTRK-TV.

Passengers said most of those injured were not wearing seat belts.

Initial reports are that the Monday flight was hit by what's called clear-air turbulence, or air pockets that hit without warning.

While pilots are always on the lookout for regular turbulence spots -- like mountain ranges and places where weather fronts are converging -- clear-air turbulence can happen anywhere.

"You can't see it; you can't sense it with radar," Dorr said. "The best way to determine if there's a possibility of clear-air turbulence is to have somebody in front of you that's already flown through it."

Dorr said passenger injury numbers have dropped over the past few years, during an industry-wide effort to increase safety.

No passengers were reported seriously injured in turbulence incidents in 2008, and five flight attendants -- down from a high of 19 in 2003 -- received serious injuries, according to the FAA.

The Commercial Aviation Safety Team has focused on seat-belt awareness and pushed for better communication systems for reporting turbulence, Dorr said.

All licensed pilots also receive "upset training," which teaches how to deal with extreme turbulence, he said.

Yeah I didnt like it much, the guy wasnt really that funny either in my opinion.. the Chris Kattan one sucked too they didnt really know how to riff off of each other. Dr Bruce was awesome though

Also it looks like CBS is hosting his podcast now so he doesnt have to use his bandwidth anymore.. although I have a feeling thats why they've been shorter recently.

Shaman was entertaining (and both he and Silverman are familiar to people who like Williams Street shows), though odd. Kattan was tough because he seemed like a really friendly guy, but they could never really get things going, so it was enjoyable but not really entertaining.

Brekelefuw: Dec 16, 2003; I Like Trumpets

Today's podcast was the worst yet. The Shaman's schtick was terrible and unfunny. I really had to force myself to get to the end. Sarah Silverman's sister is pretty boring too. God I can't believe Adam let the Shaman sing that song for so long. It was the least funny thing I have ever heard in my life. I hope Adam makes fun of him as one of the terrible guests later on.

Kattan wasn't nearly as bad as this, although to me he came off as kind of a dick.

I myself like bad Adam podcasts almost as much as great ones. Thats what I've always liked about Adam and Loveline etc, you are surprised how great some people are that you would otherwise might think are massive tools (like John Mayer, Linkin Park) and which people truly suck (the Darkness). The Shaman was pretty even weaker when compared to the "Republican Senator". Heck even Deaf Frat Guy was funnier to me, and hes one of the few Adam related things I dislike.

All next week while Drew is on holidays Carolla is filling in and hosting for Loveline. Starting on the 9th I think.. I'm assuming theyre going to have a replacement doctor like Dr Bruce or something in there with him.. should be good times.

Speaking to this does anyone have the chris kattan episode that can throw it up on rapid share or somewhere? the link on the podcast website doesn't work for me, and the completion-est in me is having a tantrum.

Well today's show was a little different. It's so funny though that Adam obviously desperately wants a Radio show still. But then it's weird having a Radio show format on a show that's only an hour long.

I think he should really go for 3 times a week, make the show a little longer and have better guests. None of that Shaman poo poo.

Yeah, Adam and T are having to ask what he was saying. Not terrible, but the guy's having real problems communicating.

T is good, and more importantly, she gives Adam new stuff to go off on. If he didn't have that he'd tell stories he's told over and over again.
