This is why my wife and I don't let our fat friends on our couch. We have specific chairs for them because we already lost 1 couch to a fat friend when the dumbass thought it was a good idea to sit on the arm. Most furniture is rated for around 250 lbs and anything higher slowly does damage to it.

In what world is most furniture rated for two anorexic people?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Everywhere. It's per seat, so a 3 seater couch would be 750 for the whole thing if the weight is distributed correctly. If a 350 lbs. person sits on it by themselves, it will cause strain and eventually damage.

Assuming you're a homeowner who has had to buy adult furniture before, you could just read the descriptions on your own furniture dumbass.

Apparently she has inbred cousins, because you'd have to be retarded to believe airlines are re-sewing a life safety device between flights.
I can't think of a single occasion where you can "repair" safety straps. Automotive seatbelts, fall harnesses, parachutes... the only accepted repair is "take it out of service and replace with a new one"

They cut the frayed part and insert the remaining seatbelt back into the buckle, shortening it in the process. There is no sewing. What sort of third world mongoloid are you? Have you even been on an airplane?

Both ends are sewn. You can't just not have the folded-over portion at the end
Jump in the discussion.

The one end is only sewn to keep the buckle from falling off the belt when you adjust it. It serves no purpose when you are just sitting in the seat. It's not essential to the function of the belt. They just fold it over and melt the frayed end. It looks like it has the sewn end unless you look for it. It takes 5 seconds and gets the plane back in the air with all seats full until they have time to actually replace the entire belt.
They only wear out from fat passengers since fatty's belly's make the belt rub the buckle so they aren't cutting off enough to affect anyone that isn't also fat.

There seem to be a lot of services that replace the belt, fix up the latches. But they all talk about replacing the whole fabric..
Still, as long as it's not against regulations (which sounds like it would be, but what do I know), what would be that bad about cutting off the worn part and resewing it back? It's not like they're made any differently in factories.

Certification. You're not getting the same tested pattern and strength as the factory design. Also good luck pushing a needle through quad-thickness webbing repeatedly by hand.

They're obviously not hand sewing them. The kind of shops that offer belt replacements with certification, might offer the same kind service, just with reusing the old belt rather than a new one.

The redditor implied the airlines were trying to piece together the old webbing themselves.
Airplane seatbelts don't have pretensioners. The cost to have a third party "fix" a simple belt is higher than simply replacing the belt with a new factory part.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Airplane parts tend be multiple times more expensive tho. And the cost multiplied by hundreds of seats adds up. Bet it's way cheaper to replace the webbing than the whole assembly, which I'd imagine to be a regular practice. Cutting and sewing it back probably less so if done at all, but might make sense too, especially if you're repairing only a couple belts and want to keep the same color.

in the US companies don't have to worry about getting sued. the amounts of damages awarded in the US is also definitely not 100x higher than in the EU. US companies have literally no reason to be overly cautious with safety critical parts.

It's /u/brittanyorcutt who has the ski trip. /u/redseaaquamarine is the chungus worried about not fitting in a seat.
They could both avoid anxiety by putting down the Twinkies and eating normal portions of regular food. They wouldn't be so chronically ugly if they were not fatties either.

Real talk: I want skiing for the first time this past January, and holy shit I was un prepared for how un comfortable skiboots are to walk in, especially AFTER 4+ hours of skiing. And then I realized why there was a bunch of bars near the lifts.
So I cant imagine being that heavy and wearing that shit.

one time i was trying to take an amusement park ride with my fat-butt friend and the little lap bar couldn't close over us because he was too fricking fat so the 17-y/o running it had to kick us out and the second-hand mortification I felt was so overpowering i literally cannot imagine ever letting myself get to a point where there was a risk of that happening to me. like I wanted to die and I wasn't even the fatty.

I'm only normal obese not morbidly. But December the popeye's guy recognized me and recited my order before I could... The shame was unimagineable. I just drove away. I haven't gone back since. I've been excercising my butt off and eating healthier since. My only saving grace is no one I know saw that. Did you two talk about that or was that one of things you never discuss again.

oh I missed this part lol. It was literally never spoken of again. We both got off the ride and got our tickets or whatever back without a word to each other. I figured he was probably actively suicidal, and I just decided to pretend it didn't happen, which he seemed grateful for.

I just read some of your other comments. What a trash human. You aren't even worth talking to. You don't have the intelligence to even make a factual argument. You are an actual detriment to society.
