Technocrat Posted September 18, 2013 #109 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The average person's skin accounts for approx 16% of their body weight. This means the skin of an average person will weigh more (~20 pounds) than an average-sized house cat (~ 12 pounds). And if the person is thick skinned the weight will be even higher!
