Hang on tight! Your bag's going for a ride...

Paul Heymont 8/17/158:03 AM

If you've ever considered bungee-jumping, zip-lining, sky-diving, roller coasters or other forms of extreme travel, hang on for this one...but it's only available if you are a camera attached to your suitcase...

The video above was shot by a camera attached to a suitcase going through the automated baggage system at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, Europe's 4th busiest.

For those of us who always assumed there was a big crew of human baggage handlers loading and unloading the carts, it's an eye-opener. And for anyone who fears the worst and/or rides amusement park rides with eyes covered and screaming, hang on tight and keep your eyes open...and keep telling yourself "It's only a movie."
