The EASA ( European Aviation Air Safety Agency ) estimates that the average male weighs 84.6kg, a female 66.5kg and an under-12, 30.7kg. So 1 metric ton is roughly 11-12 males. I had similar conversation with a mate who wanted to put olympic weights, bars and training cage station in a small bedroom with wooden floor. He was worrying the load concentration at the middle of the floor and the consequence of his landlord finding it out!!!!
