Fat Family flips raft
Ok, another one of those amazingly stupid news post that I just had to share with you curious readers…
“Family’s weight eyed in ride spill at Riviera Beach’s Rapids Water Park”
A family of 4 (Dad & 3 kids!!!) who weighed about 850lbs to 900lbs flipped a raft at a water park. The ride says maximum weight for each raft is 700lbs. They got on and flipped the ride and went to the hospital. Now they are thinking about suing the park!
We have all seen those signs before “must be this big to ride this ride”. Now if you let your son who is 3ft tall ride on a scary roller coaster that was designed for people 5ft or taller. Who’s fault is it? Well yeah of course the ride attendants must stop him before riding.
Now put yourself in their shoes. A happy family of 4 who to you must weigh 5,000lbs comes to the front of the line. How embarrassed and insulted are they going to be when you ask them for their weight? How about you? What if they make a huge scene because they are denied entry? What if you asked them and they flat out lied? What if you want to split them up into groups of 4? You maybe thinking that just two alone maybe over the 700lb limit.
So what do you do? You can’t just weigh them in front of everyone.
Well either way the family is going to try and sue the park even though their were signs posted stating the weight restrictions.
