Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Do you realize that if the 25 of us who have posted today, put our combined loss weight on the typical bridge, the bridge could collapse!!! Almost all local bridges have a 2 ton limit!!!!! As my grandfather used to say, " put that in your pipe and smoke it. " (I think he meant, " think about that " since he usually said it after our butts had a discussion with the razor strap. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of stretching it. The 2 ton limit is not 2 tons allowed on the bridge at one time but based on the amount of axles... its a pounds per square inch issue. Since the weight of the 25 people would be distributed over presumably 50 feet (assuming everyone stands on 2 feet), any bridge designed for vehicle traffic should handle this. If all the weight were placed in a VW Bug, and the axles DIDN'T break, it might damage the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 You mis-read my post.. I said that if we put our combined LOSS weight on the bridge, now out weight as we carry it on the body. If we piled all that lost fat up on the bridge was my point. _____ From: Ron Webb [mailto:RonRN18@...] Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2004 11:33 PM Subject: Re: Weight loss observation * At 10:29 PM 1/25/2004, you wrote: >Do you realize that if the 25 of us who have posted today, put our combined >loss weight on the typical bridge, the bridge could collapse!!! > >Almost all local bridges have a 2 ton limit!!!!!
