I'm 6'6" 220 lbs (and gaining) and I've been hauled off in a chopper (because I was actually dying, not in a skit). IIRC, though, there was no door to close, and I was sorta hanging off the side of the bird.
My thought is this- if you weigh over 500 pounds and you're less than seven feet tall, fuck you. The ambulance crews should not be responsible for picking your fat ass up. If you really wanted to live, you wouldn't be morbidly obese.
