Narrative:

Upon touchdown on runway; the center galley cart detached from the galley bulkhead and traveled the length of the cabin hitting the 'stair' bulkhead on the flight deck. Unclr whether the latches on the bulkhead 'vibrated' into the down position in-flight allowing the cart to slide free on landing or if I failed to secure (re-secure)latches prior to departure. I meticulously check galley latches prior to each aircraft ferry/reposition.
