00:00if you're a big person you're going to be fat shamed if you want to go to a theme park in
00:09australia they're now making people step on scales at one australian theme park to see if they
00:16are in their acceptable weight limit yeah i think they got to worry about that stuff
00:21i know they do but normally they don't make you step on scales before people are getting fatter
00:27they never had to deal with it before i guess you're right that's probably it uh here's the
00:32story from abc7 in australia the weight controversy gripping adventure world isn't the time spent in
00:39a queue but the new scales for patrons to weigh in before jumping on a ride it shouldn't be
00:45something that teenagers should be worried about coming to something that's fun and
00:49they should be yeah not stressed out about that stuff this season adventure world says it's
00:54enhancing rider safety on four water slides weight restrictions on the kraken can average
00:5980 kilograms per person 90 kilos for the tunnel of terror and sea serpents rocky rapids is the only
01:06ride which is based on individuals weight child psychologists warn the publicly visible red
01:11flashing light for those deemed too heavy could be damaging there's almost like this fear of
01:17rejection fear of judgment that's going to creep over people i just wonder if some of these rides you
01:22know like they're they're the water rides where you get in a tube and then they they shoot you up some
01:28kind of big thing and you circle around and then you go down a drain and go into something else i saw these
01:33two kids that went at the same time when you weren't supposed to go at the same time and the one kid
01:39was either bigger or whatever and shot the other kid up this ramp higher than he was supposed to go
01:49and when he came down he hit like a middle barrier and flipped all the way outside of the ride oh my
01:54god because he tumbled right out of it it's all about safety right there are certain weight but it's
02:00not safe to ride you gotta look out for people's safety but how come we have never seen this at any
02:05american water park then because we can't dame what do you want like we have water parks all over the
02:12country there is someone saying that there is a place in new hampshire where they make you weigh in
02:16before going on some of the water slides certain people that weigh a certain amount they could be
02:20like shot out of those rides they pick up speed fat people and slides man that's what i mean like i
02:25think you go further you go further up like your momentum doesn't slow down as fast as someone who's
02:33skinny i find fat people at a water park very brave no absolutely they are they're brave you gotta be like
02:41you know basically nude walking up all those stairs to get to the top and you know you're jiggling all
02:46over the place the one thing i'll say is it's really nothing new right because they're not going
02:51to fat shame people they're not going to make people go on a scale here shouldn't they just say
02:55like um like on the ticket or something like you know you should only weigh this amount and you know
03:02you're weighing you know i'm sure they do dude but they still have this in front of every ride and
03:07what is i mean i guess when you a ride's different if it doesn't fit it doesn't fit you have to get
03:12off a water slide they won't know right like my weight has kept me away from all kinds of theme
03:19parks connor in boston you've been to a place where they weigh you before you go down the slide
03:23yeah new hampshire they make you wait in line the whole time me and my buddy waited in line for like 40
03:31minutes and then right before you go down they make you step on a scale and we were both growing
03:37up pretty fat so we got on the scale and it flashed a big old red oh it's the most devastating
03:43awesome connor no bad in my life that's terrible they should do it way before you gotta do that
03:52before i decide to get in line yeah no still living through that this happened to me when i was a kid
03:58actually oh wow it did out what happened there was like a like a school carnival thing you know set up
04:04and there was a ferris wheel and i was in line to get on it and then the guy put a hand out to stop me
04:10and i pulled out a crappy uh old analog uh uh bathroom scale and made me get on it that's how
04:17i oh no a carny weight here and i was a child too this was what i this is the first time i realized
04:26i was over 100 pounds in my life oh but how are you not what did they let you go on it oh no no
04:33denied the ferris wheel yeah no 100 pounds was the limit and i was over that
04:37oh that sucks in my elementary school oh no that'll stick with you that'll stick with you
04:45and now i work in radio yeah that's what happens but that's the impression it makes on your brain
04:49right like you'll never forget that moment no you'll never see that's the thing though that's
04:53what's wrong with this style thing getting on a scale and then a big siren goes off like you want
04:59a slot machine jackpot right you know why they have to put the siren on though because think about
05:05i don't know you've always had really tall kids dave so it's kind of it's probably different for you
05:11yeah yeah
05:12no
05:18no
05:19no
05:21no
05:22no
05:23no
05:25I get all mad about it.
05:26That's it, I just ate.
05:28I'm loaded.
05:30Sarah, you're over by 45, man.
05:32These pants weigh in that.
05:35I'm a big seven-year-old.
05:40Oh, man.
05:40Oh, that's too bad.
05:42I'm freaking out with that siren.
05:43Yeah, no, no, no, no.
05:44At least a good call.
05:47You were saying, sorry, I can't even remember.
05:49Tall kids, I've got tall kids.
05:50Oh, so, you know, having a short kid,
05:53there would be several times where Rowan would be tall enough
05:57to get on something and Stella would be like just a tiny bit,
06:01like a tiny bit too short, like a hair too short.
06:05And so many times I've seen them make the call of,
06:10we're going for it.
06:12We're just going to go for it and see if the person at the very top
06:16says you can't do this.
06:19No, like they'll stop you at the top and be like,
06:21oh, no, get under this.
06:22We want to make sure or whatever.
06:24But sometimes someone doesn't care about their job
06:27and they just let them, you know, go and do it.
06:30Mickey in Boston, you were fat shamed on a ride.
06:33It was this guy that was in the car in front of us.
06:36He had to be like 350 to 400 pounds.
06:39He was huge.
06:40Where was this?
06:41Oh, Space Mountain.
06:42Oh, you can't.
06:43You can't do Space Mountain.
06:44No, no.
06:45They were trying to put the bar down and like moving his fat,
06:49like trying to lift the fat up to squeeze the bar around.
06:53It's not worth it.
06:53Oh, my God.
06:54That's not worth it.
06:55I've seen people like jump.
06:58Because like some of these people try their best and let the big guy ride,
07:02right?
07:02Yeah.
07:02They'll jump on it.
07:03Because don't you feel like you would give them the eyes like,
07:06you make this happen.
07:07You make me fit, Master.
07:08You make me fit.
07:09Don't you?
07:10Yes.
07:10Yeah.
07:11I'd be like, crush me.
07:13Crush my inner.
07:14Oh, my God.
07:15It's like a ride that I like freaking crashed because of him.
07:18And they started the ride.
07:20They like, we started moving.
07:22And it was at the last second that they stopped the car,
07:26like right before the, you know, the ledge where they can get out.
07:31And they had them get out.
07:32I was like, oh, my God.
07:34Like something that got set off where they were like, there's a problem.
07:39Maybe.
07:39You know?
07:40Yeah.
07:41Stick your egg.
07:43Like a last minute safety.
07:46Exactly.
07:47Someone at the top is like, oh, we've got a way too big guy in car seven.
07:51Evacuate.
07:52But there's got to be a limit.
07:54If you go to our Instagram page, just search Dave and Chuck the Freak,
07:57you'll see it.
07:58A bigger guy gets on one of those wave rides.
08:01And this is, again, so many people lose their trunks on this.
08:04And he almost does.
08:05And that's what almost kills him.
08:06He's trying so hard to hold up his trunks that he,
08:10like, just flies through this thing.
08:12I can't even imagine.
08:13Go to David Chuck the Freak on Instagram.
08:17But he's on this little tiny.
08:19I'm going to let you go.
08:19I'm going to let you go.
08:20I'm going to let you go.
08:22I'm going to let you go.
08:23He's doing way better than I would do.
08:26Oh, like, he gets a good five, six seconds on it until everything falls apart.
08:31Yeah.
08:32And then down he goes.
08:34I'm negative.
08:35Look at him.
08:36Christ.
08:36And then he goes ass over tea kettle.
08:38Look.
08:40Hit me.
08:41Oh, my God.
08:43He almost, he just destroyed his head.
08:46Hit me.
08:46Got him.
08:48Shut it up.
08:49Shut it down.
08:50Oh, his trunks were down.
08:52His trunks were down.
08:54I laughed so hard at that.
08:56I watched it over and over again.
08:58You have to watch it.
09:00Did you see him smash his face?
09:02Yeah.
09:02Oh, yeah.
09:03Because, again, he was trying to hold his trunks up.
09:05It was his trunks.
09:06It was his trunks.
09:07He sacrificed his face.
09:09I remember somebody commented, is that Chuck?
09:12Yeah.
