Thanks for doing this challenge. To be fair, you had a heavy wheelchair that is difficult to propel and no gloves. As someone else has said though, many wheelchairs (including mine) have much smaller front wheels, which get stuck on cobbles and other little holes. Having said that, it's light enough to do a quick wheelie.
As a wheelchair user myself I would like to thank you for doing this experiment. But now, could I ask you please if you could use your celebrity status to make people and organisations more aware of the problems we face. Anyone could end up in a wheelchair in a trice. It would be so good if you could do this not just in Ireland but here in the UK. Thank you so much.
It was interesting watching you go through this. I just use my electric chair when I go out a as I'm not strong enough in my upper body. I have a hard time asking people for help.
Great Video!! I would love to see you do it again with the small wheels on the front. lol only because that is what my chair has on it, however I believe you would need about a 20 training class on wheelchair use before completing an all day course.. :•)
I would like to film myself using a wheelchair for a day and challenge my peers to do the same. Do you have any idea where I may be able to get a wheelchair?
Yes, most medical supply stores rent them out and if that in not possible then look up Wheelchair suppliers in your area, they well know who rents them. This was a good video!!
