Not when he is over weight and has his hands cuffed behind him.

The article mentions nothing about weight being a factor. Also it should make little difference where your hands or arms are. Here's why it works:

I don’t care what the article says, it is a fact that the breathing of a person , over weight with his hands cuffed behind his back, is impaired. I learned this in a grand jury.
