RSSWould all the chips and cards really fly off the table if the ship has inertial dampeners to counteract rapid movements? Hell if I know. But it made for a funny gag. And funny trumps science, in this particular instance, anyway.

well inertial dampeners only dampen. any severe acceleration might still be felt, at least momentarily until the system catches up. Like the dampeners in a automobile shock absorbers, they take (deflected) directed force and spread it out. Some of that force still winds up reaching the original destination
Let’s go with that explanation!
