How light are French children that you can throw them over an 6 foot tall fence

Little practice and a decent hammer throw technique your average adult ought to be able to get higher than a six foot arc with 50lbs. Trick is to grab em by the ankles, looking them in the eye is incredibly distracting.

Elementary kids? 50-70 pounds. Oh wait we want kilos. With cheese.

French children are typically the size of human children. This might be surprising from an US perspective.

American obesity is a plague spreading here to Canada too

You're telling me you can lift a 50 pound child over your head and toss them? Multiple times a week?

I can lift a 50 pound weight over my head, multiple times in a row. I'm not sure how these parents are actually doing it, I assume the kids climb over, and the parents aren't actually yeeting them.

Frère ou sœur, est-ce que tu soulèves au moins?
