Let's see...Code requires a platform so a 4' 5" person can egress and
the platform has to support 300 lbs.

How many 300 lb 4' 5" people do you know? ;-)

Grin, it does look funny. Its actually 2 separate issues there. 1 was the
height and the 'other' was the load bearing as our window was high enough it
couldnt count as an egress without the 'built in step' (window-seat in our
case).

Think of it as a kid and his mother trying to escape. The kid is 4ft5in and
the momma is pregnant with another one g.

Yeah...I considered the whole fireman's carry thing and all that, but
the visual of a 300 lb 4' 5" escapee was just to much to pass up. g
