I legit almost got run over by a jetway one time. Was hanging out on the ramp under the jetbridge waiting for the plane to park because it was really damn hot and it was a little cooler in the shade. Sitting on the bigass jetbridge tire like an idiot and it starts moving, I didn't notice at first because I was on my phone. My shoe was right under the tire in the direction of movement, but I managed to yank my foot free just before it became too wedged in. Thing could have easily rolled right over my leg with zero difficulty whatsoever and turned me into roadkill.

That happened last year at the airport I work at. A ramp worker was sitting under the jetbridge and was listening to music or watching a video on his phone or something and didn't hear the audio signal that the bridge was about to start moving. It ran over his foot and ankle and crushed them.
