As you ’ll well love if you barbecue very often , fat is extremely flammable . ordinarily , the human body does n’t carry enough of the stuff for it to be a problem during cremation — but recently , an obese woman from Austria carried so much weightiness that her fat burnt powerfully enough to determine a crematorium reddened .
The avoirdupois caused the fire inside the crematorium to hit 300C , resulting in clouds of smoke billowing out of the building when the filter mechanism fail to digest up to the caper . Firemen had to rush to the scence in Graz , Austria , where they were confronted by thick black smoke Mary Jane which , in the password of the Daily Mail , left them “ covered with a layer of sooty dirt ” . delicious . They finally extinguish the fire by target H2O through the vents which are used to realize the filters of the cremation oven .
The woman in question weighed 440 pounds , and experts have claim that it is definitely her size which caused the oven in which she was being cremated to overheat , as opposed to there being a error . Most country do n’t currently have an upper limit on system of weights or body size of it which is allowed to be cremated — but this incident could well shift that . In fact , since the flak Austria and Switzerland are considering a proscription on big bodies being cremated .
The choice , of course , is just to increase the sizing of our crematoriums with the sizing of our waistlines — but given how fast the national average BMI is increasing , we better build up ’em big . [ Daily Mail ]
