600 Pound Woman Survives Getting Thrown Through Sunroof



Town N Country, Florida - A woman is in stable condition after being ejected through the sunroof of her SUV during an accident.

Thirty-seven-year-old Ruth Matthews told paramedics that another vehicle cut her off in traffic, and she took evasive action to avoid a crash. Her Isuzu Amigo rolled over and she was thrown through the sunroof and onto the roadway. Investigators say she was not wearing her seatbelt.

Paramedics initially tried to fly Matthews to Tampa General Hospital, but her weight, estimated at 600 pounds, made it impossible. Emergency crews were able to transport her to St. Joseph's Hospital, where she is listed in stable condition.

Authorities are continuing their investigation.

She was very fortunate to be able to be thrown anywhere. May God bless her.

Whats a 600 lb woman doing anywhere near an Isuzu Amigo?

I'll bet she's thinking "Wow, my excessive weight saved my life!!! I need another bag of pork rinds!!

Well that shoots the air bag theory all to hell. Since society is becoming more obeise, why bother? Since we are all getting fatter, we have a redundant safety system built in.

She would have probably been decapitated if this happened. She should just get the bariatric surgery done while she is in the hospital. Costs $21k to do it up here, but insurance covers most if not all of it.
