A 200 kilogram (440lb)German man discovered that being overweight can be good for your health, if you get run over by a car.
German police say the extra body mass prevented the 30-year-old man from suffering potentially fatal injuries when a Volkswagen Polo drove over him after he braked suddenly on his bicycle at a crossroads and fell off in front of the car.
"It certainly helped him in this case," police spokesman Sven-Marco Claus for the western town of Gifhorn.
"Someone smaller would probably not have been so lucky."
The man dislocated his hip, which local doctors put back in place, but otherwise suffered only scratches and a bloody nose from the underside of the vehicle, police say.
