A man who weighed more than 300 pounds was seriously injured in 1999 when he was ejected from the Superman coaster at the now-defunct Six Flags Darien Lake. Six Flags argued that the man was too large for the ride’s lap bar restraint to engage.In 2004, a 5-foot-2-inch, 230-pound man fell to his death from the Superman roller coaster at Six Flags New England. A state report found the overweight man’s girth prevented a T-bar restraint from fitting firmly.

I believe my wife’s story tops yours. She flew from Oklahoma City to Chicago with Dan Rather as a seat mate. Well that is more horrible than I could even imagine!

People are taller and thus heavier than they were in our parent’s day. I’m 5’6”, have a brother who is 6’2” and a sister who is 5’9”.
