Smith detailed in her letter and in an interview with Military.com that her son-in-law never officially weighed more than 245 pounds, was never disqualified from flying, and passed his last physical fitness test just six weeks before the crash.
A medical professional at Monument Health stated that hospital bed weights are not accurate body measurements. The weight was taken after the crash with a neck brace, boot brace, pelvic binder, legs binder, blanket, layers of bedding and pads, a remote for pain med, multiple IVs, multiple probes and cords, bandaging on three wounds, hospital gown, and blood pressure strap.
