A door or drawbridge is needed to block the exit. setup a garbage dump zone on the floor of the small room. An override for the atom smasher is needed as the victims sometimes keep standing on the pressure plate. Your best bet is putting up a corpse stockpile and letting the bodies rot away naturally over time, or set up one of several garbage destruction mechanisms (magma pit garbage dump, dwarven atom smasher. Victims have clung to the walls on the upper level, but I don't think it's happened since I smoothed them (one wall is built, as I needed to access the level). As the man/woman part of the creature name mentions, those beings are at least borderline sentient and can therefore not be butchered for meat. Once a dwarf has been smashed, just wait a week. The lever should be far away from the atom-smash site.

First, set up the chamber somewhere remote, where no dwarf other than the one being smashed can see them. Cages often stick in the fortification, and once a live victim did as well (since it was stripped beforehand it didn't seem to pose any problem to the dorf investigating the issue). Have you heard of the Dwarven Atom Smasher It may come in handy in this scenario. Enter atom-smashing, the solution to all your problems. The cart returns to the starting point via impulse ramps without risking any dorfs. My current design uses 10 or so impulse ramps for acceleration, smash into a built wall (used to be a fortification), the cages and prisoners are thrown through a fortification on the level above to fall down, and then walk through a pressure plate (with override) activated atom smasher. However, I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable to know what's actually required. Mine works, after some redesigns, so it's possible.
