All flight attendants were standing in our demo positions when the Captain suddenly slammed the brakes causing all of us to go flying thru the air like rag dolls. I flew backwards and hit my head on the metal counter in the galley. Then forward to hit my forehead on the jumpseat. I was completely incapacitated and unable to perform my flight attendant duties. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital. I ended up spending the night with bleeding on my brain and a concussion. My CAT scan shows a bulging disc in my neck and I continue to have lower back pain. Two other flight attendants were injured as well as one passenger.
Flight Attendant reported injuries to herself and others when the aircraft came to an abrupt stop.
