Question

How can I tell if the person is strong enough to give me a piggyback ride?

Community Answer

Generally if the person is taller than you or is very strong, they will be able to give you a piggyback ride. Talk to the person if you are unsure of their strength.

Question

I am 15 and weigh 60 kg (133 lbs). Can most adults give me a piggyback ride?

Community Answer

Theoretically, yes. The average man can lift about 70 kg, and although the average woman can lift about 35 kg, those who exercise regularly could probably lift you.

Question

What should I do if I want to give a piggyback ride to someone who does not want one?

Community Answer

If someone does not want a piggyback ride, you cannot force them. Instead, try asking someone else if they would like a piggyback ride.

Question

Should I give a piggyback ride for my boyfriend in school?

Community Answer

If you're strong enough to support his weight, sure! Just don't do this during class, or any other time when horseplay is not appropriate.

Question

What is the best way to hold onto a woman when she is giving me a piggyback ride?

Put your legs around her waist and wrap both your arms around her neck. This is the safest way.

Question

Whenever I get piggybacks I get choked. How can I prevent this?

Community Answer

Ask the person you're piggybacking to hold onto your shoulders or around you chest, not your neck. This prevents choking, which happens when they put their arms around your neck instead.
