This is why you keep your seatbelt fastened when you are seated.

On longer flights such as this one, most people have to get up at some point to go to the bathroom.

@#2 ... On longer flights such as this one, most people have to get up at some point to go to the bathroom. ...

So... a line of 25 people waiting to use the bathroom?

"Plus, Salt Lake to Minneapolis? Really, dumbass?"

The flight was to Amsterdam. It was diverted to Minneapolis after the severe turbulence.

Have to wonder how many people here have actually been on a long-haul flight. It's generally recommended to get up and move around every few hours, to avoid blood clots

Several, but you still keep your seat belt on while seated. If 25 people are up and walking around you've got a problem.

This plane had only been in the air for 40 minutes. Only at cruising altitude for 10.

What is the maximum number of people who should be allowed to stand up or move around on a flight at any given time, including crew members, then?

Some of those 18 passengers who needed to be evaluated could have been in their seats with their seatbelts fastened at the time.

It's generally recommended to get up and move around every few hours, to avoid blood clots.

If you are getting blood clots from just sitting on a plane it's generally recommended that you see a doctor immediately.
