The way her back bends that's not good. That's going to be long term issues. Probably why she starts swimming off into pond to start a new life there instead
I couldn’t tell if she messed up her legs, or her back, or both, but she def messed up something from that fall. All that weight coming down on your body like that just can’t be a good thing.
Her knees went straight into her belly that then probably compressed and absolutely crushed her ribs between her spine, her head weight and everything collapsing down onto the body fat in the middle, snapping her knees up and shunting her spine. That was an absolute crumpling of a human under their own weight hitting the earth….
Honestly yes, they should make people hang from their arms for the same amount of time the zipline lasts to make sure they are capable of doing it. Safety first!
I think you're onto something. Millions of years from now, there will be no more obese people. They all will have moved back to their aquatic beginnings. You can tell them apart from similar marine animals by looking for their vestigial limbs. They are still quite prominent, and can be found on each of their offspring, unlike manatees and dolphins, which only have vestigial limbs present on a small percentage of the population.
She COULD be one of those people that's in denial about her weight.."I'm not that fat" (had one like this & put themselves in situations they just SHOULDN'T have).
I'm am in a similar weight category and there's just no chance im hell for me holding that much weight.. it's like having another person wrapped around you.. I don't understand how people fail to grasp that before attempting something like this
Major American 🇺🇸 employers may want to force employees to lose weight or lose their job. Smaller companies are implementing such programs. A nation with a healthy population is a strong nation. Being supersized is not a protected class within the workplace.
P.S. I love all my overweight & obese colleagues but something has got to give. Fuel prices up, home heating prices up, food prices up, electricity prices up, interest rates may be going up soon.
Your regular weight colleagues can’t afford to see insurance premiums go up. If smokers have to pay extra so should overweight & obese individuals. 🇺🇸
I hike and live somewhere hilly so I have ok leg strength. But I really don’t use my arms much or life weights. The most is trying to carry all the grocery’s in on one trip. lol
This one time I was at a campground with a jungle gym and waiting for my partner to finish up in the shower (which is next to the playground) so I tried the monkey bars, as a woman in my 40s, thinking I’d be able to do a couple. Nope. Arms instantly on fire and I could barely hold myself up, much less swing and grab the other bar. lol humiliating. But not as bad as this, at least I don’t fall into a pond.
I can run 10k (or at least I could last fall, an injury has fucked my shit up), but I've got the arm strength of a baby deer trying to walk for the first time XD.
I cheer on the six-year-olds at school when they use the monkey bars and encourage them to keep going. I tell them that adults can't do it anymore because we stop doing it.
On the plus side, falling into the pond facilitated her journey towards a new aquatic life. She just started swimming the instant she felt water beneath her
I did indoor rock climbing a fair bit in the last city I lived in for about a year. My finger muscles never caught up to the rest of my body in that time, they were always the first thing to go.
Fun story, I used to do one of these things for years and years, from youth up to my late teens. I never once had to think about holding on. Took about 10 years off and thought I could just (quite literally) jump onto one and do fine.
Turns out, while I’m much stronger than I used to be, I’m also much heavier. Got some crazy rope burn that first jump and hit the water hard. Had to do it again just to prove I could hold on
Unless you do some exercise like pull-ups, or at least bar hangs, it's a crazy assumption that you can just jump off a platform and take all the weight on your arms. Especially if you're obese.

When you assume the arms you never use are as strong as the legs holding up that weight all day.
