It's not "body-positive", as I think the term goes.

Lots of people won't be able to ride if 40 is the limit lmao

If you size every seat for the largest possible person, youre guaranteeing that a smaller child cannot ride,

Makes sense. Laughing how this quote sort of applies loosely to any Nintendo product and when the older generation gamers complain about family friendly games.

I've been the same waist size since 17 and I'm almost 40 pounds heavier

Beer belly gang

Oh jeez lol that's gonna exclude a lot of people considering how prevalent obesity is now

Oof. I'm at 42 right now. It's a good thing I'm already in the process of losing weight lol

Pants are measured by waistline length in inches, I know you're not American but unless Americans don't buy pants they should know it. I'm at 30ish inches.

Think i should be under by now... havent checked though and i almost never wear anything other than basketball shorts.

Men's pants sizes are by waistline measurement (in inches). So I know my waistline because I'm currently wearing size 42 pants. Women will likely have to measure though, as their sizing is kind of dumb.

if Wario or Bowser's fat asses can fit in a kart, then so should anyone else's! lol

It's fine since it's not in Florida

Hey now. 25 different measures for 1 bit of clothing, that changes size in every store is just the proper way to do it!

From the look of the ride in the picture, it seems like it would have been pathetically easy to just have some rows sized for larger adults while others are sized for smaller adults and children.

Lazy engineers are lazy.

Womens sizing is fucked up because they keep changing it so that fat women dont feel bad. 25 years ago when I started working I bought skirts and dress slacks in either size 6 or 8 (so a medium). Nowadays if I buy a size 8 I am fucking swimming in it. I have not lost weight. I need a size 2 now.

So this is only a recent problem? Damn. It makes buying clothes as a gift so much harder, especially online.

I like Universal but they have been criticized for many years over failing to consider people with disabilities in their park and ride designs.

Im 6"4. Go karting in any form is usually off the table for me anyway.

Oh phew I thought it was a weight limit.

I'm 240-50 but my waist is 38, so I'm good.

I feel like Bowser with that shell has gotta be over 40in. He's finally getting his comeuppance.

Its wild because certain things (ie wedding dresses) go by the standard for sizing from years back. So some women throw a fit when they are told what size they need to get a wedding dress in.

I really dont know how much more they can screw with sizes. Its all to make some women feel better that they dont need a bigger size.
