The 1200 pound man's adventure has hit some, uh, wrinkles.

So many questions come to mind, not the least of which is: he had a girlfriend?



MySA.com: Mexico: "SAN NICOLAS DE LOS GARZA, Mexico — When you weigh 800 pounds, you need a forklift and a tow truck to go for a Sunday picnic.

Unfortunately for Monterrey's famous large man, Manuel Uribe, 42, his first such jaunt in five years was canceled by doctors after a freak accident en route to La Boca dam, a popular weekend destination near this northern Mexican city.

The sunshade on his specially reinforced bed, which was propped on a flatbed tow truck big enough for a bus, was knocked off by a low underpass, a steel beam narrowly missing Uribe's body.

Doctors checked his pulse, which was racing, and said his blood pressure fell.

'He can't recover that easily from a scare like that,' said Silvia Orozco, one of his doctors.

It was hard to tell who was the most disappointed.

Uribe was celebrating two years on a special diet, which is said to have shaved off some 400 pounds.

His girlfriend, Claudia SolĂ­s, was celebrating her 38th birthday."
