Narrative:
This flight was delayed two hours due to a late arriving aircraft. Everyone was in a hurry to turn this as quick as possible. After we were done boarding they serviced the lavs. Then we pushed back. On final cabin safety walk through to ensure all passengers are seat belted and bag placement is correct; I was in the aisle near seat 13c when the aircraft came to an abrupt and extremely hard stop; propelling me three rows up and I fell to the aircraft floor landing on my right side. My right leg was wedged under the metal seat frame. Passengers came to help me up but I asked them to wait a minute because I was stuck and in severe pain at that moment. They did help me up and I went to my jump seat to sit down. I was shaking and hurting but I got up to see how the a flight attendant (flight attendant) was. When we got to her galley she was on the ground and in severe pain. She stated she felt like her arm was broken and she couldn't move her back. The paramedics met the plane and placed her in a collar and took her off on a backboard.
