Weight Watchers clinic floor collapses under dieters

[Mayareira]

The floor of a Weight Watchers clinic in Sweden collapsed beneath a group of 20 members of the weight loss programme who were gathered for a meeting.

As the dieters queued to see how many pounds they had shed, the floor beneath them in the clinic in Växjö, in south-central Sweden, began to rumble, according to a report in The Local, Sweden's English-language newspaper.

"We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air.

"The floor collapsed in one corner of the room and along the walls," one Weight Watchers participant told the Smålandsposten newspaper.

Soon, the fault lines spread around the room, and other sections of the floor gave way.

Luckily, all of the dieters escaped uninjured and managed to move the scales to the corridor, which was not damaged in the accident, and were able to complete their weekly weigh in.

The cause of the floor's collapse remains under investigation.

it's almost like the writer was fully aware of the irony here and said that on purpose... I wonder if he didn't.

Clearly the building collapse was caused by an earthquake and unreinforced concrete.

Man, I feel bad for Wyclef. I believe he's also the Goodwill Ambassador to Weight Watchers. That man has a lot of work ahead of him.

I really like how they saved the scales and continued their weight watchers meeting in the hallway, that is dedication!

[willriker]

I think that this is so easy to make fun of that noone is doing it. Its very strange.

[Acturus]

Why do I think the floor collapsed because SOMEONE prescribed a bunch of Wii Fits?

don't you mean, weight for it....weight for it....

[Qalbert]

I think no one is making fun of it because we all can understand the gravity of the situation.

[Zilong]

This is waay too heavy for me to take in.

It's a good thing they all didn't ride the elevator at the same time.
