The new weight limit policy came after the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) warned that rescue winches - which are critical during offshore emergencies - cannot safely lift heavier people.

We could try to tamp down on diet or we could upgrade rescue helicopters to Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion heavy lift helicopters.

Remember, fat insulates and insulation prolongs cold-water immersion survival!
