It would be REALLY heavy for my 48 kg friend!

She is actually shorter than she looks there - she is on tiptoes! The rest of wouldn't exactly be unhappy to be 75 kg again though...

I was going to say, he's a big unit holding her up.

A 300lbs gorilla is about 140Kg. Upstairs should be able to support any human who can climb stairs. I would be more concerned with the footwork of a boxer than the weight of sand.

I'm 116kg and haven't fallen through any floors yet. Ok, i live in a bungalow, but ive still not fallen through any floors.

A tonne of water bed is fine in most houses, albeit the mass is spread out so kg/cm2 isn't too high.

Punch bag will be fine.

Punch bag will be fine.

And if you haven’t got a punchbag, use a a fat granny!

I always think of these situations in terms of 'fat grannies'. 75kg = one fat granny.

Is a visiting fat granny at risk of falling through your ceiling if she jumps around a bit?

Yes but I he granny will move from one spot. But the base of the kickbag will be pretty much static 24/7.

It really shouldn't matter.

The Building Regs specify the floor loading that a domestic floor should be able to withstand. If I'm remembering correctly, you should be able to put two of your punch bags in every square metre of your son's room. 150kg per square metre. See here......and relax......

Edit: Section 6.4-D3 has the dope.

Not if you nail her feet to a bit of MDF.
