Backwards in wheelchair: down the stairs
During a fire evacuation drill, this is what a Human Resources Manager did ...in an office building I was in meeting.
He was just 6 ft. ahead of us while the rest of us piled down 4 flights of stairs.
The guy is a a parapelgic (paralyzed from waist down) and was in a light althletic light wheelchair. He went backwards, down all flights. :eek: Impressive upper body strength and agility.
I asked him directly how he did it...and he did confirm: Lots of practice.
By the way, he was not overweight. About in his 30's.
Just incredible!! :eek::) I'm not sure if some people who saw this, understood truly what it really means to have that type of upper body strength when wheelchair-bound.
