A man in Amsterdam, Netherlands, was hospitalized this week with abdomen injuries after a popup public toilet arose from the ground without warning.
The unidentified man was injured in the early evening after the retractable toilet sent a nearby moped airborne and struck him. The man was standing near a Urilift retractable urinal when the incident occurred, reports the European Cleaning Journal.
City authorities are investigating the incident, which occurred on Weteringschans, a thoroughfare in Amsterdam’s city center.
The toilets appear to be manhole covers in the ground during the day, but are raised by remote control at night as crowds flock to the area for its nightlife. This is the first injury attributed to the units, which are self-cleaning and can serve up to 125 people per hour.
