Do you think these sports should be included in the Paralympic Games?

Question by The_Mouse: Do you think these sports should be included in the Paralympic Games?
If we truly want people of all sorts of disability to participate in sport - then we should add more categories to different sports?
Such as.....
- Electric Wheelchair synchronised swimming
- Electric Wheelchair spring board diving
- Wheelchair ski jump (Winter Paralympic games)
- Blind ski jump (Winter Paralympic games)
- wheelchair steeple chase

Additional comment: Before all you politically correct, ultra sensitive and easily-offended trolls get on your high horses, I work in disability and have many friends who have severe disability and are wheelchair users. We had a good laugh over discussion like this.
There is a BIG difference between making fun of people with disability and having a laugh ABOUT disability.
jobees - fyi,
blind basketball actually exists! Amputees DO go in track events with atificial limbs, so the "hopping" is rather redundant.
Electric wheelchair "murder ball" does exist. My friends play in it. It is actually electric wheelchair rugby league. Full contact sport too! (want more info? - email me) But thanks for some ideas.

What would be some new ideas for paralympic sports?

Question by Super Midget VIII: What would be some new ideas for paralympic sports?
Would some of these be interesting idea to add to 2012 paralympic?
- Electric wheelchair synchronised swimming
- Wheelchair platform diving
- electric wheelchair ski jump (winter paralympic of course)


And before you hit the report button and think that I am disgusting... some of these ideas were made up by my friends who have severe disabilities and they are all power wheelchair users. They can laugh at themselves and make light of their disabilities. So please don't get too politically correct and get offended.
Lighten up!
