Woman goes down airport baggage chute
 
Recent news story (unfortunately I don't know who to quote as it was not quoted when I received it)

"
http://empower.ideopia.com/1008/images/5.jpgAn elderly woman misunderstood instructions while checking in at Sweden's main airport and was whisked down a baggage chute after she placed herself instead of her luggage on the belt.
The 78-year-old woman lay down on an unmanned baggage belt in the belief she was following check-in instructions, the Upsala Nya Tidning local daily reported.
She was quickly swept off to the baggage handling center, where staff members helped get her back on her feet.
The woman suffered no serious injury and caught her flight as planned."
