too fat to board the Harry Potter ride

I came across articles online that some fat patrons of the Harry Potter Forbidden Ride were forbidden to board the ride because they were too fat. Evidently there is a test chair that one has to fit first before one is allowed to board the ride. And this procedure is obviously for safety reasons.

One fat Utah woman was angry for being forbidden to board the ride and for being humiliated by it. She wants Universal studios to have more public warnings about the size restriction of the ride.

I do not feel sorry at all for the morbidly fat people forbidden to board the ride. It is about time these people take responsibility for their weight. If they are too fat, then they should loose weight so they can board the Forbidden ride. After all obesity is a big problem in this country and it is not only a problem to the fat person but also a burden to the whole society. Thin and healthy tax payers are shouldering the financial cost of medical issues arising from obesity. I personally am tired of seeing all these preventable medical issues if one only manages to control their weight.
