And I bet that each of those bags has been through the HAND luggage security checks and so doesn't contain the wrong sort of liquids, sharp objects, guns & other items that are acceptable in checked luggage but not hand luggage.
It won't happen for one very simple reason - Ryanair turn around time is around 30 minutes, therefore they have to get everyone off the plane, have them queue up for their luggage on the tarmac and leave the tarmac BEFORE they allow the next group of passengers to start depositing their luggage all in 30 minutes, whilst the aircrew is also cleaning and checking the plane is OK for the next flight
