Narrative:

Departed san non a no passenger flight to sea, with 2 flight deck crew members and 3 working flight attendants. Prior to top of descent into sea, first flight attendant (a) elected to observe landing into sea. The flight attendant was seated and with seatbelt buckled prior to top of descent. Upon landing in sea and slowing aircraft for runway exit, a galley cart from the back aft galley came loose and rolled down entire length of aircraft aisle. The galley cart rammed into the back of jump seat. The flight attendant was injured and the jump seat was broken. The cockpit door was open at time of incident, again due to no passenger on board aircraft. Cause of incident was improper securing aft galley cart. Supplemental information from acn 538471: I lowered the nose to the runway and applied the thrust reversers. Moments later I felt and heard a loud crash in the cockpit. I glanced over my left shoulder and saw the flight attendant slumped to the left. I slowed the aircraft to taxi speed and the captain took over taxiing the aircraft. I completed the first officer after landing flows and the after landing checklist. I coordinated with ground control for taxi clearance to the gate. I also radioed seattle operations to have emt personnel meet the aft. At the gate to attend to the flight attendant it was unknown at this time what her injuries were. By this time the other flight attendants were assisting the injured flight attendant. After arrival at the gate, I was told that a beverage cart from the aft galley had moved forward the entire length of the aircraft and had struck the jump seat. The impact damaged the jump seat. Emt personnel examined the flight attendant and released her. The captain and I filled out a form. A ground supervisor took digital photos. It was my understanding that we were repositioning the aircraft from san to sea for the next day's flts. Even though we did not have a ferry flight call sign, I did not feel that we were operating under far part 121 (no passenger or cargo). Having the flight attendant in the cockpit was for her familiarization of cockpit duties during the letdown/landing phase of flight. Having the flight attendant in the cockpit or having the cockpit door open did not create a distraction of any kind (light, noise, etc).
