Does it? I thought the sub-cutaneous fat tissue just builds under the skin, as a layer on top of said organs. i.e: their organs are constantly being crushed under the weight of their fat. *edit: I understand some fat deposits happen in weird places, once people get to a certain size, but definitely not anything that would warrant them, "floating around." *edit2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peritoneal_cavity Ya learn something new, every day. However, I'm still mostly right. The organs aren't "swimming" in anything. They're still just being crushed by the extra "cushioning". *edit3: wait, no, I was totally right to begin with. It's still just a layer (albeit a different one) on top of said organs. Woot, vindication! READING WINS AGAIN! In celebration of this, I'm gonna go read a book, now.

Guess so. I've been drinking, so my sarcast-o-meter is waaaaaaay off, for the night. I will forever be mad at you for making me question human anatomy in my most vulnerable of states! *shakes fist*

Yeah but you weren't being sarcastic

If organs floated in the fat an x-ray of an obese person would be insane. All their stuff just floating everywhere instead of looking like a little skeleton in a fat suit. It is easiest to think on terms of surgery. You cut the skin, cut through the fat, cut the layer that holds in the guts and then you can reach the organs. There are also other different organ compartments. Like the heart is in a little bag. The brain is in a little bag. That is why there are different degrees of issues to where the internal bleeding occurs. A vessel bursts in the brain and it fills up the balloon putting deadly pressure on the brain instead of leaking down the spine. Bleeding in the gut is bad but you have more time to get to deal with it.
