This is the funny moment a Wuhan Metro security guard tumbles onto the conveyor belt and passes through the scanner before coming out the other side in fits of laughter.
The incident was filmed at a tube station in Wuhan, a city on everyone’s lips due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, in the Chinese province of Hubei.
The footage was widely shared on the Chinese social network Douyin, also known as TikTok, last week.

In the video, the bungling female security guard is seen losing her balance and falling onto the conveyor belt in front of stunned commuters.
The security official then passes through the scanner and eventually comes out the other side as a woman tries to alert her colleagues.
The clip ends with the woman doubling over in laughter as she looks across at a colleague, also apparently laughing under her face mask.

Local media said the female worker was unhurt in the incident, however many Douyin users commented that the scanner’s radiation can be harmful and she should get herself checked.
It is unclear if the scanner detected anything suspicious inside the bungling security guard.
