Manners said he does not plan to file a lawsuit.


Why does Harold Manners hate America?

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

/dun-dun, dun-dun, dun-dun, dun-dun - nah-nah-nahhhhhhhh

I guarantee you that if these people would have been turned away from these rides there would still be an article, it would just be that they were discriminated against cause someone said something about their weight.

Math is hard but

276+220+120=616

It does not exceed 700

I am not saying that they are not a bunch of fat f*cks

I'm just saying "Dang, Go on a diet you Fat F*cks."

This is a late parrot: Math is hard but

276+220+120=616

That's what they say they weigh. I don't believe it.

This reminds me of my honeymoon when my wife and I went to Walt Disney World. We got on the Tower of Terror at MGM and the lady next to us on our row had to weigh over 300 lbs. When the lap bar came down, it was a good six to eight inches above my waist and my wife's waist. When that thing started going, we were tossed around pretty well, and I was grabbing that bar for dear life while my wife dug her hands into my arm. They've replaced the bars with seat belts since then. I should have bought the picture at the end of the ride. Oh, fun with the obese at amusement parks.

Why would fatties even go to a water park?

ndotseth: Why would fatties even go to a water park?

their blowholes dry up?

Weight limits are so ignored in the US.

My Honda S2000 has a weight limit of 500 lbs. I weigh 205.

It does not take much to excede it when you think about it.


America is FAT!

ndotseth: Why would fatties even go to a water park?

You know how whales have to stay in the water, because they can't support their weight on dry land?

It's like that...

The link beneath their picture FTA says "Enlarge"

TOO LATE!

I came here to say Fat A$$

Wow, they were so big they required a repost of the same story?

Or, different family from same water park?

Can anyone find the picture of Homer Simpson stuck in the water slide?

Pregnant at 11. Something should be done about that. Well, she does look it!

I went to Universal Islands of Adventure with friends a couple of years ago. One of my friends is deathly afraid of heights, but wanted to go on the Jurassic Park ride. The raft seats like, four or five people to a row and as we're being situated, she's desperately trying to push the lap bar down to a comfortable level, freaking out and screaming "Why won't it go any lower!" I look over and one of the people next to her is an obese woman, getting the bar slammed into her stomach rolls. I was dying of laughter, but really, isn't that risking our lives?

/why do lots of obese people go to amusement parks in the sweltering heat? I'm just sayin'...

Why would they want to go to a place with such bad food? They didn't have their priorities in order.

Nevermind my other post....the headline here alludes to that other story.

Ride a bike fatties.

"In my opinion there was not sufficient water to cushion the force"
How much water did he displace when he landed anyway? enough for several swimming pools?

I read that as "The Leviathan Family"...

ndotseth: Why would fatties even go to a water park?

They feel less heavy in the water, like hippos, for example.

Two Dogs Farking: This is a late parrot: Math is hard but

Yeah, the 11-year old daughter looks like she's carrrying octuplets. 120 pounds my ass.

If it would have been nice if the reporter had actually brought out a scale, and you know, did some fact-checking.

But a drawn-out multi-day controversy doesn't draw ratings like a quick, story-killing biatch-slap.

Samantha weighs 120?

She's either 3'5" or has the density of styrofoam.

FTFM.

I love the father wanting to file a lawsuit and saying the park should take more responsibility in judging the riders' weights.

WTF? Like said above, he'd then be the guy to biatch that a "pimple faced moron ride attendant told me I was fat!!!!"

Personal responsibility. fark it at this point.

When in jeans my Julia crams
Her massive tights and diaphragms
...

/forget the poets name

Obligatory

Fat and indignant. Harpoon it.

AliceInWonderland: I guarantee you that if these people would have been turned away from these rides there would still be an article, it would just be that they were discriminated against cause someone said something about their weight.

This.

OK then, put a scale at the entrance to the queue next to the height line. Make up PVC pipe width gauges to go with the ones the ride ops have for height. It would certainly make my days at the park more amusing.

/1 week till Hershey, Knoebels, and Dorney.

You know how whales have to stay in the water

One of these rides must place enormous stresses on a 300lb person's skeleton. Risk of spinal collapse? Definitely.

You'd think they'd stay off them for that reason alone, but nooooo, they're "normal" and should be doing "normal" things.

Fat drunk and riding water slides is no way to go through life son...

FTFA: But Harold Manners, whose daughter sustained bruises to her back in the first incident, says the park should examine potential riders more closely if their weight puts them at risk of injury.

Get your ass on the scale fatty, Sorry sir, your wife's ass is too big, she will have to ride in the next car.

Lawsuit!

Oh and
failmitter: Unfazed by family of four who violated 700-pound weight limit for water ride

Also FTFA(First sentence even): An 11-year-old girl was hurt on a water slide at Rapids Water Park the day before an incident on a different slide sent a family of four to the hospital.
Reading comprehension for the win.

Sgt Otter: If it would have been nice if the reporter had actually brought out a scale, and you know, did some fact-checking.

And that kids, is why the amusement park is shy to ask/tell people about the weight issue. If they were to even ask, much less pull out a scale... Those fatties would be suing the park for the emotional distress, etc. etc.

"I think that if they had made that determination, if there was a weight issue, they would be more careful and scrutinize and not let a family on that exceed itME and my giant family should have made the decision to stay off the ride ourselves.," said Manners

FTFY



NO, Its called personal responsibility, and YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION YOURSELF. Just like when you decide to stop shoving food down your throat, but clearly these people have issues.

People like this make me so F'in angry, have some Fing accountability and personal respsonsibility.
I bet these are the same people who want the government to limit calories, and force restaurants to make food healthier, because, you know, those restaurants are forcing Americans to eat their crap.
ARGH
/rant off



I suppose, tha

"Daddy, the photographer looks tasty. Can we eat him?"

"Manners said... his wife weighs 220 pounds..."
Based on the photo, he's only referring to her right thigh.

QFTFA: "We feel that the regulatory agency is taking this issue too lightly."

Lightly. Bwahaha! There's a crude joke in there somewhere that's appropriate for FARK, but I can't come up with it at the moment.

Reactron: We're gonna need a bigger boat.

/personal responsibility curls up in the fetal popsition and cries.

I am LOVING this thread....

I enlarged the pic against advice. It's the 'Widettes' from SNL.

Actual footage of the family after the ride


/shamelessly hotlinked
//because the regulatory agency is taking the issue to lightly.
///window seat next to the emergency door please.

That's no 11 year old, that's a space station.

I came in here for pictures of Homer Simpson caught in a water slide tube, and was sadly disappointed.

Manners said he weighs 276 pounds, his wife weighs 220 pounds and Samantha weighs 120 pounds.


NO FREAKIN' WAY

TFA"John D. Lenahan was listed in good condition Saturday at Columbia Hospital. Two children and a teenager also injured on the ride have been treated and released."

Sounds like the Devastator!!! It's Soul Shattering!!

I hope all you people are having a good time making fun of this family.

Because let's face it; It's good to have a good time!

/scary thing is that these wobblebottoms look a bit lighter than the average American family nowadays
