Lateral Thinking – How was this possible?

Two cars made their way along the winding country road and came to an abrupt stop at the park’s gate. Seven men got out of the two cars and were walking along a footpath when it began to rain. Six of the men began to walk faster to get out of the rain but the seventh man couldn’t be bothered. Ironically it was the seventh man who remained dry and the other six got soaked. Since all seven men arrived at their destination together, how was this possible?

Answer:
The six men were carrying the seventh man in a coffin.

   Sounds possible too if the seventh man had an umbrella. Your answer doesn’t sounds logical in the sense that it’s mentioned that all 7 men technically “got out” and “walked”.

   Agree with Chao in that the answer didn’t make much sense. Tried to think of a way to make it sound a bit better, not quite sure though.

   Keep up the good work on the site btw!
