Okay 3 things.
9 kg is 2.2 lb, which is ridiculous, and can't be good on your neck. The article says 20 lb, so one of those is wrong. I'm gonna guess the metric one is writing since in America we measure everything in Freedom Units™
Did the "no metal" warning sign go missing or was he just illiterate?
That must have been a horrible mess to have to clean up.
Dude, 1 kg = 2.2. Multiply that by nine and you get 19.8 lbs.
9kg is almost 20lbs, which is even more ridiculous
