MONTERREY, Mexico — The world’s heaviest man still can’t walk, but he will soon be able to roll.
Manuel Uribe said Thursday that he is having a 1989 Chevrolet Astrovan outfitted to support his record-breaking weight, giving him mobility after more than six years of being confined to his bed.
Uribe earned the Guinness World Record as the world’s heaviest man in 2006, when he tipped the scales at 1,230 pounds. He claims to have since shed more than 500 pounds after making a public call for help.
