The moment an elderly woman was thrown into the air as her coat got caught on a store roller was caught on camera in the UK.

The video from a closed circuit camera recorded 71-year-old Annie Hughes standing outside a mini market in Toddagh, South Wales.

The woman was standing with her back to the entrance, the bottom of her coat caught in the store’s roller which, as it went up, lifted her into the air, leaving her hanging upside down and desperately trying to catch the shopping trolley.

Speaking at her home, which is close to the shop, Annie said: ‘I was standing there when my coat got caught and picked me up. I thought what the hell is going on!”

“People say it could happen to anyone, no, it could only happen to me! I’m lucky I have a good sense of humor,” he joked, according to the Daily Mail.

Within minutes, the shopkeeper rushes out and hurries to hang the old woman, who luckily was unharmed.

The video was posted by the store on social media and has gone viral.
