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.

What?

Why is the solution not to make the rescue winches able to safely lift heavier people? What the hell?

"Precisely this weight"? First few BMI charts I found don't even reach the weight limit for the helicopter - That is 124kg BTW.

At some point you need to consider your own lifestyle rather than insist they redesign a helicopter to accommodate your obesity.
