I think all the doctors will argue about this statement.Actually, health experts continue to bang on about obesity being bad for you, but clearly they haven’t spoken to the German man who survived falling from a balcony by landing on his belly.

Gerhard Steiner, 27, was heartily munching on a sausage on his hotel balcony in Bayreuth when he lost his balance and toppled over the edge. Mr Steiner fell more than twenty feet before crashing on to the ground, his fall broken by his ample girth.

Rather than dying like an ordinary mortal, Mr Steiner emerged with just a bruised rib and doctors said his fat has saved him. So just remember that when you are considering whether to have another deep-fried Mars bar.

Man…..I think he just lucky during the fall, probably the big fatty belly helped him absord the impact. But generally I would say being fat is not good for us specially for our health.
