Smile I'm sure I've read stories of airlines refusing to take, or charging double for, large or overweight people.

At least he's in the centre. I'd always be frightened that the plane would tip over if he managed to move to the inside!

I wouldn't like to leave the plane in an emergency with him sitting there.

I once read about a woman who suffered a dislocated hip on a long haul flight twisting sideways to accommodate the overspill from an overweight passenger next to her. Sad
