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.

    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.

    When its wet like this it would serve as a great slide. Just take some plastic sheet or something and down you go :)

    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.

    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 mean that doesn't feel normal, like the steps were put in, and then a few people fell off and so the handrail had to be installed by taking off a few steps, putting in an extended one and doing it that way.

    I'd say the ramp is probably for pushing a bike up and down it or something, and the wheelchair sticker is just a joke.

    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.

    This looks not so safe for people who aren’t in a wheelchair.

  • if they added a handrail it would probably be usable
