While we were visiting Kings Island, a Cincinnati amusement park, our roller coaster ride was held up as we waited for a fat couple to get seated.

Now, I shouldn’t use the term fat when referring to these people. They were both over 400 pounds so I guess the word “obese” would be a better choice.

Either one of them could have occupied the coaster car by themselves, but, they wanted to sit together. So, we got entertained watching them try to squeeze into the car.

First, the attendants tried strapping in the woman and then the man. When that didn’t work, the attendants strapped in the man and then tried the woman.

Finally, after about 10 minutes, they were both strapped in, if you can call it that. They were both strapped in and seated in the car, but they had so much fat oozing over the edges of the car, I had to wonder how safe they would be.

In fact, I had to urge to take a broom handle over to them and poke some of that fat back into the car. There was almost as much of them hanging out of the car than was in the car.

While most rides have a minimum height restriction, they should also have a maximum size restriction. FWIW.
