Should fat people be allowed on amusement park rides?

Question

Why or why not?

Answer 1

HECK YES
my dad couldnt ride Top Thrill Dragster in Cedar Point because og his weight. its so unfair. if they want riders, MAKE the F*** SEATS BIGGER!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

This is a safety issue. If someone's obesity is so great that they would exceed the safe operating limits of the ride, it is reasonable that they would be denied use of that ride based on the risk to themselves and others. Seriously, who wants to get hit in the head by a projectile obese person? It's not safe! Of course, if rides are made to accomodate massive people, then the ride is safe and there is no reason not to allow them on account of safety.
Amusement park owners want business and fat people pay just as well as anyone else. Just as much as people are entertained by girls in bikinis, so are people amused by the amazing levels of obesity some people attain.
Never having been outrageously fat or particularly slim and attractive, I can't say I can appreciate either situation. Then again, I don't mind being unobtrusive, do I?

Answer 3

Of course they should be allowed but sometimes they are not and it's not just to be like "ha you're too fat to ride this ride" it's more of a safety thing because on a ride where it has an over the shoulder harness like Batman the ride or any coaster where your feet dangle the harness is the only thing that is holding you in place and if it doesnt lock properly then you should be glad that they are telling you that you are too big because they're looking out for your safety.

Answer 4

Wow, what a horrible response to this question most of you should be ashamed. Fat people have every right you do. If they don't fit into the ride they can't ride it, period. Imagine the embarrassment for that person, I have a dear friend and that happened to him, it was horrible and humiliating. I know a few overweight people and they hurt because of these kinds of comments, it is so mean.

You shouldn't knock other people because they don't fit your 'standards'. Because your not a size zero you don't count? No class. I agree with the "stiffgreygoosemartitni" I don't normally see overweight people drooling, pissing and shitting everywhere. Wow people, get a life!

Answer 5

well mr. stiff_greygoose_martin i believe from personal experience from the past...having been extremely overweight and to say the least "un- attractive"...i can honestly say tht jiha brings up a valid arguement when she is concerned about the "bodily fluids" of those who are a "bit" larger than the others ;) They sometimes arent able to control wht comes out ( i mean they already have no control over wht goes in) No Offense... but yeh ppl should be somewhat careful before sittin next to or on a ride with one who seems like they will leak/ explode, just a tip for future ref. ;)

Answer 6

relies upon on the park you bypass to Marineland as an celebration has many activities as well merely rides... As for parking I keep away from those spots and purposely park close to the again and stress myself to stroll inspite of the actual undeniable truth that i think drained in this third trimester i imagine the workout does me some reliable. I do prefer to apply it when I actually have my 3 little ones with me although that's safer

Answer 7

Well, obviously if they can't fit into the seat, they're too fat for the ride. Otherwise, what is your malfunction?

JIHA: Uh, what "bodily fluids" do fat people have a hard time controlling? I can honestly say that I've never met a fat person who just pissed at random, or vomitted on cue...

Answer 8

Welll... im not one to judge but.. no one wants to sit next to an over sized piece of meat that eats like a pig and cant control thier bodily fluids also since most of the time they do not have individual seatings and their buttock push against us causing great friction on a very hot day... but then again im certainly not one to judge so do wht u want and plzz watch the calories for ur sake andddd ours, tootles!

Answer 9

SURE!!!! But most fat people have health problems and should not be able to be on the rides. I am not trying to be mean but i am just telling the truth!! It is unsafe!

Answer 10

Yes!! As long as a persons physical(or mental) condition dose not put you or themselves in danger, banning them from any ride would violate Federal discrimination laws.

Answer 11

it depends anyone over the ride capabitly shouent be aloud to ride
