That would spill all of the hot beverages in economy, so the FAA forbids such a descent.

nuh uh it'll only launch them towards the last rows but you won't be able to breathe there anyways so i don't think it'll matter

Worse, all the hot beverages from economy class will spill onto the business class passengers in front of the plane. Can't do that for those big-paying frequent flyers.

Time for a petition to have the planes descend/fall tail-first in emergency settings to avoid this scenario.
