Two tubby tourists lie as helpless as toppled turtles after their weighty load proved too much for a pedicab, tipping it over backwards in Hell’s Kitchen.
The heavyweights, a man and woman each about 60 years old, went down for the count on busy Restaurant Row on West 46th Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues, a witness said.
An FDNY spokesman said EMS took one person to Roosevelt Hospital after the Sunday-night spill.
“I’ve seen rickshaws all over. You never think that one would tip backwards,’’ said the witness, Marc Chaykin, a Florida tourist who was dining with his son at nearby Tramonti Ristorante. Marc Chaykin
The trapped pair was comforted by a another pedi-driver as they awaited aid.
There is no official weight limit for pedicab passengers, but one driver admits he usually bypasses whale hails.
“When they’re too big, I don’t take them,” Gabarsinkh Masuri, 23, said.
“I don’t kill myself.”
Needs moar powah!
our whole society sucks
Whale hails! Oh damn that's pretty good.
On restaurant row, that's priceless. How many stops had they made already?
I don't get how some of these people don't think they are fat. I never thought of one of them tipping over but I couldn't have some kid pedal my fat ass around.
Really, they were 'trapped' because the were lying on the ground? WTberkeley? Those two need to drink some more brawndo - I think their porcine bodies are craving some electrolytes whatever those are.
It's what fat berkeleys crave.
For some reason this reminds me of the video on youtube of the woman who was too big to ride a horse (epic fail horse.)
