Fattie broke his ankle while hiking and I had to save him Some details about this have been changed for my own protection. Yesterday afternoon, I went on a hike with my dog at a state park. There are around 30 miles of backcountry trails, and there is limited cellphone service when hiking them. When I was around 4 miles from the nearest trailhead, I saw a 25yo man (5'11 300 pounds) sitting on the side of the trail near a creek. His shoe was off and his foot was swollen to the size of a football. He had been sitting there stranded for over 3 hours. He had broken his ankle trying to jump across the stream, and there was no cellphone service. I might be a shitlord, but I'm also a fucking human being so I helped him. I had to back-track on the trail, call 911, go back to where the fattie was, wait for 911, went back and called 911 again to find out they went down the wrong trail, then met with them and led an officer to where he was.  He was too fat to be carried out on a stretcher over the rough trail, so they moved him around a quarter mile to a clearing and called a medical helicopter. I was stuck with him for 8 hours trying to get him help. The trail we were on doesn't have many hikers, so it could have been 2-3 days before anyone found him. Anyone can break their ankle, sure, but being obese increases the odds so much. I wasted a ton of my personal time that day, and rescue services probably cost upwards of $10,000 including the helicopter.
