It does not add up
I got into this lift the other day while on holidays, and noticed this weight restriction.
The lift took 13 people with luggage.
Based on the weight criteria, each person without luggage would have to weigh no more than 76.9 kg. Assuming my wife did not pack your bags, you would have to allow say 10kg for enough cloths for a good break
This means that the person carrying the bags would then have to weigh a mere 66.9 kg.
Now, if I weighed 66.9kg I’d be very happy, and probably the size of a jockey, both of which I am not.
Does that seem a bit unreasonable to you? or are these signs just there to frighten us ‘larger’ blokes?

Standard design practice is to allow approx 75kg per person (or the imperial equivalent).
This was probably the average weight back in early 1900s when it was set in stone.
I have often wondered why it hasn’t been updated, since I don’t know many men less than 100kg! (I’m too polite to ask what the ladies weigh).
