James McElvar collapses after wearing 12 layers of clothes | Easyjet


FOUR jumpers. Six T-shirts. Two pairs of tracksuit pants. Three pairs of jeans. Two jackets. Two hats.

This is the staggering list of clothing that 19-year-old James McElvar wore in a bid to beat the check-in rules, after being told by airport workers to ditch his extra luggage or pay extra.
In total, the defiant flyer pulled on 12 layers of clothing after the argument with the EasyJet staff.
However, his plan backfired horribly after take-off. The singer from Scotland, who was travelling with his band mates from the group Rewind from London to Glasgow, threw up and collapsed due to heat exhaustion.
McElvar told the UK’s Sun: “I thought I was a goner. It felt just like I was having a heart attack. I was so hot I felt I would pass out as soon as I boarded.

Yes thankfully he is OK.

I wouldn't have thought that it's possible to wear that many layers of clothing. I have done 4-5 layers when it is cold but I think I would struggle to wear any more.

Should of took the Caledonian Sleeper. Nice ride and very inexpensive.
