This is also why dead weight is what it is. Picking someone up from the ground if she's standing right in front of you can be easy. The gravitational pull would be directly on her feet so it's easier to lift someone. If she were to lay on the ground, it would be a different story. Not only are her feet on the ground, but her body would then be prone to the surface area of the gravitational pull. Gravity loves things that are horizontal, not vertical.
