I know a couple wheelchair users who would send it. There are guys here in medellin that ride their wheelchairs in the skate parks.
I wonder how those guys ended up in wheelchairs.
There must be one who were always more risky but I have heard some change after an accident and think, well what could go wrong now, might as well go for it
"What's the worst that happens, I break a leg?"
I would love to see that, is competitive wheelchair skateboarding a thing? Because I'd watch the shit out of that!
It's a thing. It's called WCMX like BMX but wheelchair instead of bike.
Found a video. Legit looks pretty sick. I just can't help but think that the tech still looks pretty primitive, and wonder what future iterations of these chairs will look like.
The chairs are essentially full suspension bmx frames and wheels in the form of a wheel chair. They’re legit.
Fuck, that's amazing! That guy is pretty impressive.
About to say, some guy in a wheelchair with the ol Popeye forearms is gonna break records on that ramp.
For a brief moment in time, nana never felt more alive.
TÜV sagt nein.
Access areas at entrances with a gradient of 3% or more must be designed as ramps. With a length of up to 10 m, a longitudinal gradient of up to 4% is permitted. Ramps must be safe to walk and drive on. Drainage must be ensured in the outdoor area.
Ramps in public areas must always be designed in accordance with DIN 18040-1 with a maximum gradient of 6% and without a transverse gradient!
6% gradient, 100% gradient, what's the difference really
Everything is relative anyway. Just choose a different plane of reference and you're good to go!
When its wet like this it would serve as a great slide. Just take some plastic sheet or something and down you go :)
And wear your plate mail underpants, lest you learn the true meaning of splinters.
Linoleum works great for this

I think he's talking about Superman by Goldfinger. I think that was in thps1 though
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it uuuuuuuuup!
That makes more sense, excellent song, excellent soundtrack!
Pfff... Goddamn fact checkers and their party pooping...
Lights out!

ACCESSIBLE
The insult on top
What's wrong, McFly? Chicken?
Just need some redbull
Where's that bottom step going though?
If you check where the handrail supports are each step with one extends out and supports the beams
I am suspicious that this is ai.
There are very strange contractual elements and structural decisions in all of this, yet i find no digital artifacts.
This compulsive uttering of "this is AI!" is starting to annoy me more than any AI picture. Nothing personal against you - you are just one of many who are guilty of this. Humans are very good at building crappy stuff and then claiming that it's safe and wheelchair accessible.
But nothing really sticks out as ai. The text is legible even though a bit blurry. I doubt ai would get that right.
Put a winch at the top and this could work..
...along with another person to operate the winch, coordination/communication, and a special harness to make sure the wheelchair occupant does not tip backwards or start skewing left or right mid-flight... and maybe some special insurance.
Cowabunga, it is.

Descriptive versus prescriptive
BRB, launching a disabled person across the carpark.
Launch pad.
Weeeeeeeeeee!!!!
This looks not so safe for people who aren’t in a wheelchair.
if they added a handrail it would probably be usable
The stair looks more dangerous tho.
For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
