Weight Watchers clinic floor collapses under dieters

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.

Sadly, the people on the floor below did not survive

Well, I guess this proves Weight Watchers isn't very successful.

I didn't laugh at this...until I got to this line:"Weight Watchers is investigating the cause of the incident."They're called weight watchers....they were watching the cause.

My first instinct is to laugh. But then these people are trying to do something positive and help themselves, it's a shame. I guess they open shop on the ground floor next time.

The irony of this story is...incredible.

Oh for crying out loud... Something like this happens, and no-one there had a camera to film it?

So the entire floor collapses, & they still continue the weight check? WTF!?!
