[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine how a 275 pound 25-year old female would be able to climb the 17 stories to the top of the slide.  To give you a visual, that is someone about the size of Mama June on Honey Boo Boo when she first lost weight.  I also would not believe the ride could safely hold someone that large.  That uneven of weight distribution, barely 100 pounds in front (my son 12-years old is 117 pounds & looks at least 4 inches taller than the boy) would case the back of the raft to go down while bringing the front of the raft up.[/quote]

:roll:

I hauled 247 pounds up the stairs to ride it with my kids. [/quote]

Kudos to you, I weigh less & doubt I could make it up.  Point still being, 275 pound female is a very, very large person.  It does not make any sense to have a 73 pound person at the front of the slide.  The weight needs to be more evenly distributed.  Either he should have been in the middle or one with two people in the 150-180 each weight range.[/quote]
