This is such good news. I feel safer already.

Buffet wagons for the coming Zombie Apocalypse.

Doesn't Australia have lower gravity then here?

We already have these in NYC, you can tell the difference when you here them going down the street. whalebammmmmmmmbbbbbbbbuuuuullllllllaaaaannnnncccccceeeee
/blubber, blubber

No YOU'RE a Towel: Doesn't Australia have lower gravity then here?

Actually it's higher down here. Otherwise we just fall off the face of the earth.

They should just set up a series of barges on the Rhine.

Stupid fat Americans.

YoungSwedishBlonde: Stupid fat Americans.


There's lots of stupid fat Americans in New Zealand?

err, Australia?

/yeah, that's what I meant..

This is no joke--- I worked in emergency services in the US for a number of years, and one of my most memorable cases was finding a way to get a 700lb man to a hospital. No equipment was rated strong enough for the crew to lift him into the ambulance, and he was too heavy to walk up the steps. And keep in mind, this was a conscious man--- it was winter and we wanted to keep him out of traffic on his electric fat scooter.

We improvised and built a ramp for him to enter the ambulance, and I had the pleasure of driving his scooter back to his apartment.

YoungSwedishBlonde: Stupid fat Americans.

Wow, you've changed your hair color in your profile.

I guess they frown against blowing them up like Oregon with that dead beached whale in 1970.

I think I would probably kill myself if I were fat enough to need one of those.

I'm thirty pounds overweight at the moment and it's Uncomfortable. But...add another two hundred on? Good grief.

Hey! I resemble that remark

The Russian Mi-26 is there.

*groan*

I was led to believe that only Americans were fat while every other person in the world had a fantastic body and was sexier than any American could aspire to be...I can't believe Fark lied to me.

A Pallet. A forklift. A pillow. I'm certified to do that. Just STFU and act like a barrel of something. I'll get ya there.

rackrent: They should just set up a series of barges on the Rhine.

Cause that's going to help in this situation.

They should charge them more for having to ride in the special ambulances. Maybe they could charge by the pound... but, then the ambulance would have to stop at the truck scales on the way tho the hospital...

Too many Bloomin' Onions, CRIKEY!

The problem is not the ambulances, but the paramedics. They need to stop hiring weaklings with good intentions. Most of the EMTs round here are manly men, including the women, and can bench press a Buick. Scrap those meat wagons and buy some Bowflexes.

I am a fatty boom balatty, so I am getting a kick out of these replies.

Ah, Darwin would weep if he saw what our medical system is doing to human evolution. Anyone else seen WALL-E?

Guess you missed the Buy 'n Large logo two posts back, huh?

Didn't immediately make the connection. Well played, Fark. Well played.

go be ugly somewhere else

Wall-E is an incredible source. You know that mermaids can survive above water? I watched The Little Mermaid so it must be true.

"...about to be rolled out across NSW to meet a growing demand for the vehicles."

Meh, not by me.
Stupidity must be heavy.

rezfly: go be ugly somewhere else

I plan to ugly up this thread as much as I can.

You can talk about it as a source all you want, but WALL-E was pretty well predictive of what humanity is aimed toward. It's not survival of the fittest anymore.

It's survival of /everyone/.

I must say, you're doing a damn fine job of it, too

What's the logo for?

The service I work for is trying to get one of these. We finally have enough lard assess living in the county to justify it and we're tired of having to call the one private service in the area that has a bariatric stretcher and unit to help out.

But I live in the land of fried chicken and chittlins' and expected as such. Aren't all Australians supposed to be bronzed beach gods and goddesses that stay that way by a strict diet of bbq shrimp and exotic fruits and playing volleyball and surfing all day? I'm crushed!

Stop feeding the feeders of the whales. Lose the phone, padlock the fridge, make 'em chase the feeders for food. Either that, or start up the Soylent Green factory.

Actually, they do charge extra. The company I work for adds an extra charge to our base rate if the patient really needs the big ambulance.

/those things are a pain in the ass to drive, by the way
//and having to drag a patient out on the ManSac (really! it's a big tarp with handles) is no fun either

I read that as "by the ManSack" OUch

Sometimes, I think just making these obese people go out to the grocery store to buy their own food would shame them enough.

A little overweight, sure. No problem. Understandable. But if you're obese and you need a supersized ambulance to haul your ass to hospital for that quadruple heart bypass, that's just sick, unethical. There are people who starve to death, and people this fat are getting far too common.

we call those tarp's "shamoo sheets" when were not around the patient. My EMS service run's on some paople so big the local hosptial doesn't have a bed that can safely support them...it's why I go jogging after every shift

NSW Health Minister John Della Bosca, who inspected the vehicles on Sunday, said 576 people needed the ambulances in 2008, compared with just 45 people in 2002.

They're breeding?
