Answer 1

A limp body weighs the same as a rigid one. So the physical effort is the same to move, but it becomes an issue of coordination and just managing everything separately.

Its like trying to move a mattress by yourself, its not that heavy but since it flops all over the place it can be difficult to manoeuvre it around, without enough hands to help you. Wheres moving a box spring around by yourself is very easy as you can control the orientation of the entire object just from your one vantage point.
