I guess my question is, why would anyone old enough to have a 40 inch waist want to ride a kiddy ride?

Did you see that kid who just fell out of a descending ride?
He was chunky. They determined his seat restraint had released because of his size.

I've seen that concept. If they're going that way, I'd prefer horizontal for the flight.
To: BenLurkin
I can’t believe they have ‘test seats.’ I would have a horizontal line on a nearby wall. Less than this wide and ya ride! Can’t ride if ya hide the line!

Simple pass through pipe gateway that is open to only 40”. If you don’t fit, you don’t sit.

He was way way more than chunky. I know you were being polite, but he was obese big time.

“I wish airlines would do this.”
That depends. Do you mean make the seats bigger or disenfranchise the rider. There are people out there that need to get from point a to b and their time and needs are just as important as the 32 inch waist people.
The airlines can build bigger planes to put more passengers in them to make more money. Then why can’t they build planes that service people of size. Not everyone of size is that way because they can’t push themselves away from the table. Illness, required medications, age, accidents...there’s a lot of reasons people get that way. But very few reasons they should be treated different from other people.
