Have you never been to a public pool or water park? They're not just for the physically fit...
I have been to plenty of public pools and waterparks. I even worked for a few years in my youth as a lifeguard at a public pool. Not once have I seen a 275 lb woman riding a waterslide.

Apparently, you don't watch "Honey Boo-Boo" (Honey's mom, June).

Weight limit on many is around 300 lbs. They could probably support quite a bit more realistically.
Even if the weight limit was met, the "restraints" did not do their job, and many stated they malfunctioned. Completely unacceptable. And I'm totally rolling my eyes at park officials trying to blame this poor boy, that he *must* have disobeyed the rules during the ride. Anything to avoid blame and the consequences.

Most RESPONSIBLE middle-class working people have an emergency fund.
Or life insurance. I've said the same every time these donation pages are started for people who likely would, or should, have life insurance. And yes, even for kids. This isn't some average middle-class family. He's a politician, a representative, so he's no regular Joe going without or struggling.

Life insurance for children is pretty much a waste of money. It's widely viewed as a bad idea.
That makes a lot more sense to me. Not trying to be offensive to anyone but how likely is it that a 197 lb and/or a 275 lb woman is going to walk around in public wearing a bathing suit?
Are you kidding me? Why wouldn't they? And have you been to a water park?? It is filled with people of all shapes and sizes...many of them proudly wearing their swim suits...taking advantage of life and not hiding in a corner. Wow

I have been at a waterpark every day for the past 4 days and I have seen a lot of larger people riding slides. Even thrill ride ones. I cant guess their weight, but would guess close to 300 for some of them.

Giving money to loved ones following a death has happened for centuries. Again, its a way for people to show support to those who are grieving.
And no, not everyone thinks to have life insurance for their child in case of an unforeseen death. If the family's friends, loved ones and even strangers want to give to the grieving family, what business is of anyone's but the people directly involved???
