We do not really know any such thing. If the passenger is bigger than the
window he simply cannot be pulled through it any more than he can sucked
up
through a vacuum cleaner hose.

"According to a witness, the occupant of the seat was partially forced
through the window opening and was temporarily retained in this position by
his seatbelt. Efforts to pull the passenger back into the airplane by
another passenger were unsuccessful, and the occupant of seat 17H was
subsequently forced entirely through the cabin window."
