Does anyone know about a DDR-pad weight limit?

Yeah, so does anyone happen to know if there's a certain weight limit/restriction for the arcade ddr pads? I'd kinda like to find out. And yes, I'm being very serious, and no, it's not me that's the fatass. lol

Normal metal pads 100-300lbs and 600 lbs for the actual arcade pads, i belive. But i cant imagine a 600 lbs guy playing in the firstplace.

Well, me and some of us, including the workers at the arcade, have watched these two REALLY big guys play, together at times, and well, we were just wondering, cause our bars are broke, and they like to bar rape sometimes, not a pretty site. hell, one of them guys needs a damn bra....shame shame he'll knock himself out one day.

edit: not only that, but that big BIG guy, he tends to try to sing to Daikenkai, and he always looks like he's gonna have a heart attack, scary crap i swear.

Yeah, arcades are generally strong enough to hold anyone without any fear.

Soft pads are bad though... Even at 150 lbs you'll find they wear too quickly. -_-;

If you're talking home pads: soft pads can take mostly anyone's punishment. From what I've read, Red Octane pads have a recommended weight restriction of 255 pounds and heavier. Cobalt Flux pads can withstand up to 600 pounds (the ol' drive your car over it and it still works promo, which is true cuz I've done it countless times).

Depending on the glass used on the pad, I'd say an arcade pad can take most heavy people.

i know at 1 arcade i went 2, i was doing a freeze step as tha last step and it didnt finish. My foot stayed on the arrow and it was good 4 a minute then it didnt register and i weight a good 160, but when these bigger guys get on, they do the freeze steps just fine. Is it tha pad or me

Well I think the true question is, how much does the bar support? I mean arcade pads can hold ANYTHING. Unless they're poorly made, but the bar and bend eventually.
