I have been on more then one Airliner that dropped suddenly.
In my book, a dragon flies a first time flier(unrestrained) into a hot desert, when they are hit with a massive
updraft, slamming the passinger's head into the dragons back, and she barely stays on the dragons back, dragon leans into a turn to assist her in staying on, she is able to get back up just before they land. Very likely if she was not balanced on landing she would be ejected from the dragon and have alot worse injuries.
Realistically:
Severe updraft? Enough to slam an unsuspecting person into something enough to break her jaw?
Is it possible? happens but uncommon? happens occasionally?
I think I could reverse it, sudden drop and just as sudden stop causing her to slam her face, but liked the first better. 2nd would already have her off balance when she struck her face, making it more likely to not be able to catch herself.
Not sure what class of (modern) plane a dragon would be compared too.
