The weight of death !!

Post by The devil »

Like most people I've pre paid my funeral. I've just had a email asking for my weight. They need to a risk assessment !!
I'm not dead yet and I'm not going on a diet. They can use a forklift :twisted:

Be careful, it might be on a £ per kilo basis!!!!

I blame Finnair (or Thinnair) weighing passengers with their luggage for starting all this ;)

Actually, I don't think it is such a bad idea to have a risk assessment in place for the carrying of caskets.

I wonder if their insurance has asked for this, perhaps due to a claim from someone injuring themselves in such a scenario!

As for the weighing of passengers, again, I am all for this, as long as they offer us thinner folks a big discounts. ;)

Obesity is gaining momentum Worldwide (no pun intended) and a five year check on the averages for the RA is much too long to gain insight into maximum weight load on aeroplane's.
