Want to know why guitarist hate to check their guitars as baggage? Watch this.
If you’re suspicious about how careful baggage handlers are with your luggage, you should be. And if you’re forced to check something valuable like a guitar, this will freak you out.
Footage of a baggage handler at LAX carelessly tossing guitar cases onto the tarmac has gone viral. Good thing rolling one was in a hardshell case.
The video was taken by Nick Ruiz on March 16 and has been viewed on TikTok more than four million times. I hope this guy got fired.

Remember Dave Carroll’s “United Breaks Guitars” about 15 years ago??
United Airlines baggage handlers damaged his guitar and the company refused compensation, apparently it send their stock price down the dumper
