Have you ever needed to sleep so bad that you just nodded off at the first place you found?<\/p>\n
Well, one holidaymaker took this a bit too far when he tried to get some shut-eye in Rome's Fiumicino airport.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old jumped over the check-in desks and got himself into the foetal position on the baggage belt.<\/p>\n
However, once this carousel started to move, airport officials were left bemused when the X-ray showed up a human body.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, this sparked panic among the workers and the man had to be brought to the hospital to make sure he had not been injured by exposure to the powerful X-ray machine.<\/p>\n
One member of staff refuted allegations that it showed a lack of security at the airport, adding: "[He] could have carried on going round the main belt but he could never have ended up in sensitive areas of the airport."<\/p>\n
Still, I wouldn't fancy waking up inside an X-ray machine.<\/p>\n
