Ferries in Washington state carrying fewer passengers per vessel due to
obesity problem in the United States.

Ferries in Washington state are packing fewer passengers because of the
dramatic increase in obesity among American adults.
Safety regulations limit the number of passengers per ferry, based on the
estimated weight of an average adult.

Under new Coast Guard vessel stability rules, which took effect December
1, the estimated weight of an adult passenger was raised to 185 pounds
from
the previous 160 pounds, the Associated Press reported. The new average
weight was based on population data from the Atlanta-based Centers for
Disease
Control and Prevention.


Oink Oink!

hang over the sides so much.


This was the orginal purpose of wide body jets.
