Bahahaaaaaaa! Ok, yes, there are wetsuits for surfers here that are big enough for Anna and it’s a damn fun sight to watch someone the size of a bull sea lion tug one on and I don’t know these types avoid the pod of Orcas that frequent our coast but that’s not an Anna problem. The biggest problem (no pun intended) is that Anna needs a really big raft and guides have to know your weight plus they need to balance a raft so you’re not dragging the rocks on one side. She should stick with Disneyland rafts or try sailing as extra ballast.

 

[head lamb]

Uh, maybe it's been a while since I've been white water rafting, but no one was wearing a wetsuit. When did that become a thing? Or is this dumb consumer behavior? Just don't wear cotton, retard.

Also, I don't see this happening for her at all. Her fatass is getting launched on the first bump (honestly, it'd be a good thing because rafting is a team effort and Anna is not a team player).

Do they make life vests that size?

I remember how Ragen Chastain made it her talking point when she wanted to take part in Ironman (never happened), she had it custom made.
I guess doesn't make sense for Anna when her badhy is changing so much.

 

[OttoWest]

The bigger issue is the life jacket. Have we seen one on Anna that actually fits her to safety standards?

These rafting places should have liability on their mind and not just waving through the 600 lb woman for inclusivity’s sake.

The one time I went white water rafting, I'm pretty sure we all just wore normal clothes. Maybe it depends on the river she's doing. Snow melt water can still be pretty icy this time of year. But if I were her, I'd be much more concerned about if the raft could support her, if it would be possible to get her back in the raft if she fell out (two people fell out on my trip), and like you said, if there are life jackets that can float her enough to prevent drowning.

This is probably another one of those scenarios where I'm being over dramatic, but this seems really dangerous for someone her size. Maybe she'll get turned away or use her brain at last minute and reconsider. After buying the wetsuit.

 

[brooky]

I'd like to see her even get in the raft to begin with, tbh.

 

[Flourishing Pinecone ❧]

Scuba! my sides

Imagine trying to pull her back onto the raft after it flips her into the river.

 

[tj0p00tert00t]

She is truly unbelievable. A quick Google search shows that most white water rafting companies have a maximum weight limit of like 275 and that proper equipment and physical fitness are basically a requirement for scuba diving. She always has to prove something and she seems to genuinely be completely in denial about the reality of her size.

Since she's turned 40, her desperation to show everyone how capable she is has gone off the rails. Look at Anna touring all the National Parks! Look at Anna working out and hiking all the time! Look at Anna hanging with all her besties at cool pop-up events! Now look at Anna planning rafting and scuba adventures!! (She knows you have to get certified in scuba, right?) She's also spending at an even more alarming rate than usual. Between the lipo, the apartment, the fat camp, hauls and (god help us) food, how much do you all reckon she's spent already this year?

 

[beautiful person]

I missed the scuba part. Lmao, yeah, she's full of shit.

 

[That_Ain't_Mayo]

So, I don't know anything about scuba diving...but isn't Anna's body fat % way too high for her to be able to stay that far underwater? Won't she just shoot up to the surface like a cork shooting out of a champagne bottle? Is the weight of the oxygen tanks enough to keep her underwater, or will they have to strap weights to her feet? (Forgive me if I'm confusing scuba with snorkeling or something, I'm not a water sports fan. Heh heh.)

 

[OttoWest]

New bio on Insta. She’s now a hiker:


Anna was supposed to post the charity info in her stories but never got around to it. Instead she was shopping for cheap chinesium tat at HomeGoods.

 

[bat bat]

Sometimes, I really wish Anna would live stream her attempts at sport. Unless she intends on floating class I or II on a barge of lashed together SOT's, bitch won't be on any rivers I know of.
Nearly every group that signs up to float has at least one guy/gal you know is overweight. Simple way to decide is to hand out PFD's. If it doesn't fit, you can't join your crew. It doesn't matter how many liability waivers you sign, if the PFD is a necklace, you can go to the take out and get drunk with the other fatties. And guides learn to gauge weight pretty accurately.
I really wish we could watch her just try to convince a pro that she's a dainty 2x athletic queen.

 

[brooky]

isn't Anna's body fat % way too high for her to be able to stay that far underwater?

Yep.

Won't she just shoot up to the surface like a cork shooting out of a champagne bottle?

Yep.

From experience, this can happen to people of any weight in salt water, if their BF% is high. A chubby, short, 140 pounder can cork to the top when their air runs down.

Is the weight of the oxygen tanks enough to keep her underwater,

Nope.

or will they have to strap weights to her feet? (

They have to give weights to pretty much everybody. Living human bodies want to float. You wear a belt, and they give you sandbag weights. Obviously everyone needs a different amount. It can change for a person day to day as your bahdy changes, and depending on how salty the water is.

The compressed air is very heavy, so it does provide a lot of weight. But then your buoyancy can change a lot as you use up your air, even if you're wearing lots of weight. The more body fat you have, the more you float.

Like everything else, scuba science was developed with men as the default, and the ideal male body had very little body fat. I'm not saying scuba would be drastically different in a matriarchal parallel dimension.

I'm just saying, the technology is built for people with 5% body fat. People with 20% body fat struggle to stay down in salt water.

I wouldn't even guess what her BF% is. 90?

If she actually finds a scuba guide, and she actually gets into the wetsuit without a heart attack or panic attack, she might actually be able to do the pool sessions. But there's no way she'll be able to maintain neutral buoyancy in natural salt water. To say nothing of an open water swim in scuba gear!

My guess is she'll settle for a snooba experience. Snooba is like snorkeling, except you're using scuba tanks that float on the surface, with a long hose to your rebreather.

You don't need any special training for snooba. It's basically the same risk level as snorkeling, which any fat idiot can do. It's awesome too, I'd recommend it to anyone. You also don't need a wetsuit, though you might want one since you can get down to chillier depths (after about 3-5 feet the water gets noticeably colder, even in very hot locales.)

You can get down to about 20 feet, which is a drastically different experience than snorkeling at the surface.

Well, the average person could get down to 20 feet. I don't think Anna could dive more than 5-10 without corking back up.

 

[Diet Coke 4 Life]

Spoiler: SCUBA context

I used to do it. I lapsed on hours and lost certification back when I joined the military, though, because ends up being in training and running off to log hours diving don't coincide with one another. And before you say 'you don't lose certification!!' you certainly do with NAUI.

For context - normal BMI, 3mm full-length wetsuit, standard aluminum 80 tank. I needed 10 lbs on lead on my weight belt for freshwater diving, 15 lbs when I did ocean diving..

Anna would need a weight belt with a significant amount of weight on it to achieve neutral buoyancy. And I am BEYOND curious how much weight it'd take. She'd likely need around 40 lbs of lead for freshwater diving, and 60 for seawater. That's 18 kg fresh, 27kg sea for my metric frens. aka: a SHIT TON of weight.

She'd likely need a weight vest instead of a standard belt. I've never seen a weight belt with more than 30 lbs of weight on it.

 

[Shocked and Horrified]

I wouldn't even guess what her BF% is. 90?

The CDC recommends a 6-foot tall woman should weigh between 137 and 183 pounds, but take that with a grain of salt coming from the government. I think 137 would be thin on that tall of a woman. Anna is very fat, and probably no one ever has or will have sex with her.

 

[xelco]

she could not get PADI certified without lying her ass off. You need to be in good health and meet a list of medical requirements; if you take a sleeping pill you need a doctor to sign off, let alone if you’re 600 lbs of diabetic excess. That is before finding gear that would fit her (spoiler alert Anna, buoyancy control devices close with buckles and don’t come with seatbelt extenders!) or the hilarious image of her trying to schluk on a wetsuit over her bulk and balance while putting on fins.

diving is an extreme sport! even though it’s thought of as a vacation thing for rich people it is in fact tricky and easy to fuck up and die doing. It’s beyond irresponsible to dive when you have contraindications because you put your instructor and other divers in the position of being responsible for you in the event that you have an incapacitating event underwater. People with cardiovascular issues in particular are cautioned about diving, and being overweight or sick puts you at massively increased risk of decompression sickness if you manage to make it to any significant depth.

my prediction is she will buy expensive accessories she has no business shopping for, maybe pay for the elearning portion of her cert, and then get bounced from a fatphobic dive shop after an instructor takes one look at her and rightly says no. good job getting out there gorl!

 

[GenociderSyo]

So Anna's Nandos thing I'm thinking she staged her picture and left. TWO influencers who sell products posted about it during the event and neither gave a sighting of Anna. As said earlier she also never posted the donation link.

 

[Shocked and Horrified]

Didn't Anna have to be hauled out of the water with ropes many pounds ago? How does she think she's going to get back into a raft? I hope there is a weight limit so her retarded flopping around doesn't cause injury to anyone else.

 

[Even more 8008135]

I hope there is a weight limit so her retarded flopping around doesn't cause injury to anyone else.

There certainly is. River guides don't want the fatty causing someone to drown. They kind of frown on that.

Is There a Weight Limit for Whitewater Rafting?

There is no minimum weight for any trip with Colorado Whitewater Rafting. However, the maximum weight is 375 pounds. Even if you are otherwise in good health, your weight can affect the safety of your rafting trip. Class III and higher rapids are challenging and require balance, strength, and stamina to paddle successfully. Some of the more difficult rapids can include rough waves, boulders, obstacles, and even waterfalls. These challenges significantly increase your risk factors if you weigh over 375 pounds.

Here are a few examples of why someone who is overweight may not be able to whitewater raft:

An Unbalanced Raft
Overweight people can cause the raft to tip to one side, which needs to be balanced by placing more people on the other side. Otherwise, the raft may head downstream with a tilt to one side. Neither is optimal.

Life Jackets Don’t Fit Properly
When overweight rafters with bloated bellies go into the water, their life jackets tend to end up over their faces and heads. This can be dangerous because life jackets are designed to keep your head and face above the water. Life jackets are essential equipment for whitewater rafting trips. They’re something you don’t want to be without while cruising the river.

Overweight rafters may also discover they can’t fully buckle their life jacket. In this case, the jacket may not function fully as a flotation device.

Helmets May Not Fit
Essential safety gear, like helmets, may not fit overweight rafters. The helmet you get from the rafting company must fit snugly on your head. If the helmet is too loose, it can move when it hits a hard object like a rock, causing a head injury. If the helmet is too small, you may not be able to fit it under your chin.

Paddling
Paddling tricky rapids requires a lot of arm and upper body strength. Everyone is expected to paddle in the raft. Overweight rafters may be out of shape and not capable of keeping up.

Maneuvering Obstacles
Heavier rafters may cause the raft to bottom out over obstacles or cause the raft to get stuck on rocks.

Going Overboard
Heavier people are more likely to fall overboard in challenging rapids.

Getting Back In The Raft
If a heavier person falls overboard, those on the raft must pull them back on the raft. Depending on the weight of that person, it may not be possible to get them back on the raft quickly.

[one_time_user]

When I went white water rafting we just wore whatever. The big thing was 'nose and toes' as in, keep them up if you fall out. I would absolutely not know that if Anna had been there because I absolutely would not get in a raft with her. Jesus christ can you imagine? How the fuck is anyone going to save her if they flip?
