Yep, I lived it, maybe 20 years ago, in some unattended turbulence, the plane dropped a few feet suddenly, it happens so quickly that a lot of people just “stayed there into the air” while the luggage overhead cabinets crashed on their head, it was a WTF moment, I had my belt so was ok, but a couple of people got roughed.
That’s why I wear my seatbelt… not because of crashes

Turbulence is normal but can get nasty. Definitely wear one unless I need to go to the restroom or something
On a 12 hour flight you are likely to need to go to the bathroom at some point.
To minimise risk, normally pilots warn of impending turbulance and put the seatbelt light on so crew and passengers can avoid being caught out.
This sounds like a computer error or similar.
