Just had the wheelchair guy here and asked him about the most beat-up chair...

[Gogi]

he had ever worked on. He's worked on several chairs that have been hit by cars, one that ended up in the bottom of a swimming pool and they currently have one in the shop that had been left out in the elements for a year! They're still trying to figure out the last one. :P

1. Hit by cars? With their owners in them? (The chairs.. well, and the cars too, I gues)

2. I use a scooter as needed (sometimes yes, sometimes no)....

and I tell you, busy streets can be very scary! I've almost been hit a couple of times -- scares the living daylights out of me. In fairness to the drivers, we can be hard to see sometimes. In fairness to me, watch the hell out for us, huh?!

3. You should wear a dayglo orange suit with neon green running lights!

Stay safe!

4. I was walking downtown one day and saw the worst thing..

A See's Candy truck had hit a person in a wheelchair crossing at a crosswalk. The driver of the truck kept on going. The result was a ball of metal and flesh in a huge puddle of blood. It was the worst thing I have ever seen.
