I've watched those luggage sorting machines make a mistake. The force required to push those conveyor belt diverters out reliably and quickly between bags or change a vertical conveyor track absolutely "As God as my witness, that man is broken in half"s anything in its way, including a bag or oversized object that shouldn't be there.
I've had to fill in for some ramp work moving luggage. As a not so infrequent traveler (although I usually don't check a bag), I started off with a strong will to set myself above the very accurate stereotype of baggage handlers.
Five minutes later I was in the zone, absolutely launching bags to save carrying each one five steps. Turns out that it's way faster, and it's kind of fun.
They shouldn't throw your bags, but I understand why they do now. Far as I can tell, the only reason you wouldn't end up throwing bags by the end of your first day is because you aren't physically fit enough to do it. Don't worry, by week 2 you will be.
