Would it be possible for someone in a wheelchair (electric scooter by Amigo) to travel to Orlando by plane?

Question by debeyhaber: Would it be possible for someone in a wheelchair (electric scooter by Amigo) to travel to Orlando by plane?
I want to take my family to Disney World. I use this electric wheelchair (scooter) and I wonder if I could take it with me. I think it would be hard for my wife to push me around the parks in a conventional wheelchair. Do the airlines take this kind of chairs? Are the buses that take you from the airport to Disney equiped to take wheelchairs?


Best answer:

Answer by webjnke1
Yes the buses at Disney are equipped for that. Disney in general is very well set up for wheelchairs. I wouldn't think the airlines would be much trouble either. Also if you stay at one of Disney hotels, a bus will take you from the hotel to the parks. We never used our car the whole 5 days we were there.

There's a woman where I work who can barely use her left arm. I assumed she was paralyzed, but today I saw her move her legs a little. What kind of disease do you think she has?
Her arms and legs look very thin.

12500. (a) A person may not drive a motor vehicle upon a highway, unless the person then holds a valid driver's license issued under this code....

You can use a Segway, an "electric personal assistive mobility device", 20 inches long by 25 inches wide, limited to 12.5 mph.

If you are disabled or senior, you can use a electric wheelchair.

Other than that, anything better than and including a "motorized scooter" (CVC407.5, a two-wheeled device that has handlebars, has a floorboard that is designed to be stood upon) such as a GoPed, DOES requires a driver's license.

Question by alfa male: what would be the best thing to put on a wooden electric wheelchair lamp that gets really slick when it rains?
it is a pretty steep ramp, and gets real slick when any moisture gets on it. It is something im doing for free for my 90 year old neighbor so price is a issue
and that is a wheel chair RAMP not lamp lol
Delhoote that is a great idea if it can be mixed and spread like they say i cant imagine why it wouldnt last years. and yea tom all the chain stores could recommend is about 100bucks worth of junk grip tape, and the chicken wire would be like a bobsled track in the winter here in indiana lol. thanks guys

Would you girls date a guy in a wheelchair?

Question by : Would you girls date a guy in a wheelchair?
Im curious if girls would even date a guy in a wheelchair. Honest answers please.
I'm sweet and kind
I'm 15 yrs old
I'm in an electric wheelchair because I have a muscle disease.
Girls have told me I'm cute
I have above average intelligence
I'm really shy


Best answer:

Answer by Holly
Be more open and outgoing, it will help people relax around you more. It's hard to not be shy, but people often feel like they don't know how to approach someone who is in a wheelchair.
And for the record, my boss and her husband have been happily married for 20 years and he has been wheelchairbound since they met for the same reason. Love is love, and will be able to look over any faults.

I think those electric wheelchairs would make good commuting transport?

Question by pete the pirate: I think those electric wheelchairs would make good commuting transport?
They have a range of about 30km. They could be charged up during the day at work. If powered by nuclear, solar, or hydro power there would be a great reduction in greenhouse gas as freeway fulls of cars would not be needed on the daily commute. I realise they would need minor adaptions for weather. What do others think?

If I take my family to a Disney resort in Fl, would it be wise not to rent a car?

Question by debeyhaber: If I take my family to a Disney resort in Fl, would it be wise not to rent a car?
I know there are Disney World buses that take you from the resorts to the parks. Are there buses that take you, for instance, to Universal or Downtown Orlando? I want to take my electric wheelchair with me, that's why I ask. Thanks.


Best answer:

Answer by nurserachet_0000
You won't need a car in the resort. The buses deal with wheelchairs all day long. They are awsome at it. Now about going to universal and downtown, you might want a car or perhaps just take a cab.

Would a partially paralyzed person have control of his or her bowels?

Question by Solomon Kovač: Would a partially paralyzed person have control of his or her bowels?
There is this attractive young woman at my job who can only use her left arm and can barely use her right arm. I know she is single and I've been wanting to ask her out. Being the shallow jerk that I am, I was wondering is she has any control of herself in this way. She is not very strong and I don't know if she can move into and out of her electric wheelchair by herself. Do you think she has to wear some kind of adult diaper or catheter?


Best answer:

Answer by Peter H
It depends on the extent of the paralysis. If the paralysis of the legs is complete then it is likely that there is no control of bowel or bladder either. On the other hand, I am visiting a lady who still has some movement in the legs and still has control.
As for your young lady, if you enjoy each other's company, why not ask her out anyway?

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!
