I think height matters too. Life Flight helicopters are very small (considering you have a laid out person paramedic/doc and a nurse with a pilot and co pilot. My buddy did a Prom/DUI skit that had life flight come out and took him for a ride. He was 6'1" 200lbs and they kept beating his legs in to shut the door.

NJchopper - Would be a good idea but I'm worried about the increased liability of having fat people. Dealing with fat people is much more tricky for medical personel and you have to specialize in all fat people on the verge of death. Sounds like lawsuit city.

I've also entertained the idea of a motorcycle paramedic. Such as a BMW GS with basic life supporting medical supplies that will allow a trained paramedic to get through shitty traffic and keep a person going until the ambulance got there. But it'd be extremely hard to make money I think. Too much paperwork and grey areas of who did what and who should get paid considering the Ambulance would be the main key of saving a person's life.
