I have stood on top of the rear westy roof with feet near the edges  
and I am not sure that was a good idea.  I would not dare put stand  
near the center. I have used the front luggage as an observation  
platform myself on several occasions, though.

I think the right answer may be: "You're not too fat. The roof is too  
skinny. "
