Brisbane Airport has released security footage showing a series of mishaps and injuries during the busy holiday period, urging travellers to exercise greater caution when navigating terminals.
The video reveals almost a third of all airport injuries occur on escalators and travelators, with passengers frequently losing their balance while attempting to juggle heavy luggage.

The footage also captures children riding on suitcases, a common sight that poses significant safety risks despite being a tempting solution for parents struggling to manage young travellers through busy terminals.
Airport staff are now encouraging holidaymakers to slow down and prioritise safety over speed when moving through the airport, particularly during peak travel periods.

The security vision also shows incidents at boom gates, with some travellers appearing to walk through without paying, resulting in awkward collisions with the barriers.
Authorities hope the release of the footage will serve as a reminder to travellers to remain alert and take their time when navigating airport facilities, especially when managing luggage and children simultaneously.
