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.

Maybe they were just too fat?
    . . . said the focus was safety, not filling town coffers with permit money . . .

Sorry..... I laughed too, but I had cause. rofl

A gigantic lady dropped an SBD in front of me at the fuel station cash register the other day and while I was dying then, it is nice to laugh about it now.... that one could have peeled the paint off of the side of my truck... that's how bad it was... and I walked right into it...... [waiting]

I know - it could have been done by anybody and I am not totally innocent all of the time, but I was this time.   [noidea'

A bad day of fishing beats a good day at work any day, but building something with your own hands beats anything.
