160kg Woman Forced to pay for second Seat

[steve-h]

And fyi, weightlifters generally have poor knees, backs and hearts. So.....?

... rubbish

 

[Morba]

take up 2 seats? pay for 2 seats. why should a person or the plane lose out on comfort or money.

 

[Haydz]

If she's so fat that she takes up the space of two seats, then she should pay for two. Simple.

[Dark_Angel]

What if we see an muscled person? like a body builder?

Though I do agree..... I don't see how *ANYONE* can let themselves get to that state unless they have a major medical condition.

Indeed, im touching 130kg and am generally rather wide. It is uncomfortable for me and for the people next to me as my arms and shoulders do go over the arm rests and my legs just happen to not be small so i do take up more leg room.
if they had bigger seats it would be a bonus, but then we do try to upgrade where possible so that our journey is better.

Legally you're aloud to hunt someone over 150kg IIRC

 

[theleg]

Umm... name one disease or drug that causes you to gain excessive amounts of fat (Not weight and I never used the word weight).

Hypothyroidism
Low testosterone
Cushings syndrome
Kidney disease
Heart disease
Liver disease
Depression

that would be a boring sport given that most people anywhere near that weight will be slow and a rather easy target.

Erm, all the above makes you more "likely" to gain weight, either through increased intake or decreased output.

They do NOT however, defy the law of energy conservation . Where energy is "produced" from nothingness. To gain weight, you need to EAT. If you dont EAT, then you dont gain weight. Just keep the energy equation balanced and you wont gain any weight. eg A hypothyroid person in negative caloric balance will still lose weight.

nvm

Ah, so just stop eating...gotcha.

if a woman was big because she was pregnant would they still charge her for 2 seats?

I appreciate what you are trying to show, but a woman that pregnant wouldn't be flying.

 

[CliffyBiro]

My connection is slow atm and that pic loaded in stages.

For a few moments, I thought the arms of the chair were her legs.

Not many women would grow to that size when pregnant ;]

She wouldn't spill out other than infront of her anyway =/. And as above nor would a heavily pregnant woman be flying.
