Known for her confidence and candidness, the 27-year-old model from Panama has a massive following, with over 9.6 million Instagram followers.
Many of her fans appreciate her openness about the public challenges she encounters due to her body shape, but her recent post has drawn widespread attention for a different reason.
During a visit to a theme park, Bon decided to test the rollercoaster seats before boarding—a moment she captured in a now-viral TikTok video.
In the clip, Bon attempts to fit into what she described as “small” seats, but the tight fit becomes apparent as she struggles to find space and eventually shakes her head in frustration.
She captioned the video with, “Please just make the seats bigger,” in both English and Spanish, accompanied by No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” underscoring her disappointment.
The video immediately drew attention online, with a flood of comments both supporting and criticizing her call for larger seats on amusement rides.
Some viewers expressed empathy, with one comment reading, “They should make them bigger!! It’s 2024, we come in ALL SIZES!!”
However, the reaction was mixed, with others taking a different stance, saying, “The world doesn’t revolve around you!”
One viewer even added, “Why should they spend a fortune to make bigger seats?” highlighting a divide in public opinion on the issue.
This isn’t Bon’s first encounter with seating limitations; she’s previously shared her frustration with airline seats as well.
In an earlier post, she revealed that even when flying first class, airplane seats are often too small for her, leading her to urge airlines to rethink seat dimensions.
In her video, she addressed her followers directly, expressing her hope for change in the industry and calling for “bigger seats” to accommodate all passengers.
Following this experience, Bon allegedly opted to fly by private jet, a costly solution she described as “the best thing that has happened” since her reported airline struggles.
As her posts continue to gain traction, Bon’s story has opened up a broader conversation about accessibility and the design of public spaces.
Yet, the main issue that brought her back into the spotlight was the disappointing discovery that she couldn’t join in the rollercoaster fun, sparking questions about how theme parks can better accommodate people of all body types.
Whether amusement parks will respond to this call for change remains to be seen, but Bon’s story is undeniably fueling discussions about inclusivity and design that meets the needs of a diverse population.
