Southampton Airport also have similar ramps to the one in the photo. As ridiculous as they look, surely they are more practical than regular stairs. Especially for the elderly and for those hauling a bag or even wheelchair bound.
From watching the video, it would appear that the wheelchair bound passengers were taken round the other side of the aircraft, I did not see any disabled traveller using the ramp.
