Ryanair passenger hurt in stairs fall

A RYANAIR passenger suffered a serious leg injury while disembarking from a flight when a mobile stairs unit partially collapsed, a report has found.

The preliminary report, published yesterday, found the unit, which had not locked properly into place, could have taken the weight of one passenger without negative consequences.

However when three people stood on the section in question, it slid “rapidly downwards” with a loud noise, trapping and causing serious injury to the leg of a female passenger.
