According to WPTV, a man in Palm Springs, Florida fell on Wednesday and was so obese that his rescuers had to cut an enormous hole in the back of the house to get him out of it. In fact, he was so damn fat that it warranted![bariatric unit rescues man by cutting hole in house]()
the assistance of a recently formed part of the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue called the "Bariatric Unit."
The special unit was created to assist and rescue people who weigh up to one thousand pounds, and there is even a truck that is specifically engineered to move people that large.
Mark Tenn, head of the unit, said that calls for their assistance have increased to more than once a month.
Friends of the man rescued on Wednesday said he was several hundred pounds overweight, but since they're friends, it probably means that's a pretty conservative estimate. They also said he would probably be upset about the hole they cut in his house, but it really was the only way to get him out.
It would have been funnier if he was on a scooter: Fat People on Scooters
