1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds so it was well over a ton at the end

Not mention it stopped at 200 lbs… which is not 100 kg it showed. So it was wrong to begin with, probably best it broke.

Also, I’m skeptical about the weight anyway, did this guy really go and weigh all that garbage he stacked up?!

No, it actually hit 240, then went back down to 200

In American it is. 

But in metric 1kg is exactly 2 pound.
