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.

I'd like to see what the building codes require in Sweden. Here in the US we have to build to such standards that you could literally stack humans from floor to ceiling and not have structural failure.

Ironically when the collapse occured, the folks on the bottom tier were meeting in a support group for cacomorphobia. :nerd:

I don't know about the building codes in Sweden now but every BLUE Swedish movie I ever saw (a loooooong, loooooong time ago.)... looked like the floors held up pretty good...as well as the walls. Well, maybe not the walls. LOL
