The relevant statistic isn’t “most Americans”, it would be “most American miners...”
Not giving them an honest estimate of their time below ground is criminal.

I’m fascinated by this story. I’m really pulling for these miners. So far those organizing the rescue effort seem to have done very well and are covering all the bases.

“and 37 inches for women.”
Ugh!
I’d like to see it broken down by race though...

I’m far from slim and trim and have a 36” waist, but my shoulders are what usually makes it difficult for me to fit through a narrow space. I could pack on a lot of weight before I was wider in the waist than the shoulders.

OH, the irony. Trapped in Chile and told they can’t eat.

One thing they're not sharing with the men is their estimate that it could take four months to drill them out of an emergency shelter nearly half a mile below the surface. They're miners.
They know how long it takes to drill.

Most Americans couldn't meet the 35-inch limit After 4 months underground, in 90+ degree heat......YES they could.
