Narrative:

This was the captain's leg, descending into slc, WX was high broken with light winds out of the south and landing flow was to the south and we were assigned runway 16L. On downwind, descending through 11000 ft, I requested flight attendants to secure the cabin for arrival. Turning behind traffic for runway 16R and following traffic for runway 16L put us about 10 mi final. Landing was almost a perfect roll-on landing -- not even a thump. Reverse thrust and brakes were applied smoothly to exit the runway at taxiway H6 (the reverse high speed). Taxiing in to the gate and shutting down engine #1, the 'a' flight attendant came into the flight deck and advised us that the 'C' flight attendant wasn't seated during landing and had fallen and broken her arm. Looking back on the event, I couldn't find anywhere we deviated from our airline's procedures. I believe the factors in this situation were that she was a new flight attendant (second trip) and not having situational awareness of her surroundings because the time given in the situation for securing the cabin for arrival was ample at the time. Ways to correct or prevent this situation from recurrence would be better situational training for new flight attendants with more emphasis on their relationship to the phase of flight.

Title: PLT RPT, B737-300, MCI-SLC. NORMAL LNDG. NEW CABIN ATTENDANT WAS STANDING ON LNDG AND BROKE HER ARM.

Narrative: THIS WAS THE CAPT'S LEG, DSNDING INTO SLC, WX WAS HIGH BROKEN WITH LIGHT WINDS OUT OF THE S AND LNDG FLOW WAS TO THE S AND WE WERE ASSIGNED RWY 16L. ON DOWNWIND, DSNDING THROUGH 11000 FT, I REQUESTED FLT ATTENDANTS TO SECURE THE CABIN FOR ARR. TURNING BEHIND TFC FOR RWY 16R AND FOLLOWING TFC FOR RWY 16L PUT US ABOUT 10 MI FINAL. LNDG WAS ALMOST A PERFECT ROLL-ON LNDG -- NOT EVEN A THUMP. REVERSE THRUST AND BRAKES WERE APPLIED SMOOTHLY TO EXIT THE RWY AT TXWY H6 (THE REVERSE HIGH SPD). TAXIING IN TO THE GATE AND SHUTTING DOWN ENG #1, THE 'A' FLT ATTENDANT CAME INTO THE FLT DECK AND ADVISED US THAT THE 'C' FLT ATTENDANT WASN'T SEATED DURING LNDG AND HAD FALLEN AND BROKEN HER ARM. LOOKING BACK ON THE EVENT, I COULDN'T FIND ANYWHERE WE DEVIATED FROM OUR AIRLINE'S PROCS. I BELIEVE THE FACTORS IN THIS SIT WERE THAT SHE WAS A NEW FLT ATTENDANT (SECOND TRIP) AND NOT HAVING SITUATIONAL AWARENESS OF HER SURROUNDINGS BECAUSE THE TIME GIVEN IN THE SIT FOR SECURING THE CABIN FOR ARR WAS AMPLE AT THE TIME. WAYS TO CORRECT OR PREVENT THIS SIT FROM RECURRENCE WOULD BE BETTER SITUATIONAL TRAINING FOR NEW FLT ATTENDANTS WITH MORE EMPHASIS ON THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE PHASE OF FLT.
