Obviously a lot has changed in the last 30 years, but every time I see something about Slovenia I always wonder why Melania would want to leave paradise for a shithole like America.
This is just wonderfully amazing! I wish all beaches could have one!! I used a free beach wheelchair in Hawaii, for the first time in years I didn't just be an observer... I could get in the water and enjoy the waves! My husband and I both were emotional. It was just amazing and elevated our trip!!! Tearing up now!
Honolulu. We stayed at a condo in the Wiakiki Shores, the park between that and the Hilton Hawaiian...(Rainbow Hotel) had the wheelchair. This fall we are going to Maui.
My local beach has one of those! Only by the main lifeguard towers, but still. I've only ever seen it used once but that lady looked so thrilled to be going into the water!
Yes. And my husband pushed me in the water and I could slide out of it and hold in to the wheelchair and "jump" waves, with the water holding me up! It was amazing!!
Wheee!! Buoyancy is salt water is a great feeling, I bet the water was a nice temp too. I wish more beaches had that. There was a recent post here of a chair on a rail on a rocky beach that glided into the water, just about waist deep so the person could either stay secured with a lap belt or float/swim out.
Looks like it is. Title and description indicate as much. Appears to allow a person who cannot walk to get far enough into the water to float and swim and then allow them to get back out, Pretty cool imo. Even on tracks so it can get to various parts of the beach.
They’re usually at Walmart on the scooters grocery shopping, one hand holding a shopping cart behind them, the other hand throwing chips in it. And bumping people with the scooter till they move.
As a below the knee amputee this is great! Unfortunately insurances don’t cover waterproof or prosthetic devices that play well with sand unless you are a military vet or professional athlete. Granted they make giant inflatable devices to can put around the prosthetic but they are bright orange lol.
My parents 10 years ago: why would they force everyone to have the same shitty universal health insurance!? If I want better insurance they can’t stop me!! This is unamerican! Death panels!
My parents, now retired: Why the hell is this not approved!? Why doesn’t everyone just get a universal level of solid basic health care!? Why do I have to appeal this??? Why is Medicare shit?
And they wonder why the system is fucked and stays fucked…

Imagine everyone rushes out of the water and you're on the slow conveyor belt in the opposite direction, like a meat nigiri on a sushi train

But is there a launch setting?

They had to tame it down at Action Park after kids would lose their teeth going through the vertical loop slide!

How do you think he wound up in the chair
Lowland
Depends on who you ask. I gues the dude thinks this is the fucking shit of rollercoasters
sayfcknwhat
Pretty sure dude can ride actual rollercoasters if he gets a bit of help.

He'd still appreciate a loop and a splash entry

Is it just me or is the sand on that beach big boned?

Slovenia only has like one beach so I reckon they won't have too many of those.

Here we just have wheel chairs made of plastic with balloon wheels you can just roll right across the sand and into the water with

Where in Hawaii?! I was just thinking how awesome this would be here.

I've seen the ones with the big knobby sand tires that can go completely in the water - was yours like that?? What a wonderful find!

I was expecting one of those catapult chairs.

I, too, was awaiting the yeet
IStoleALoafOfBread
same...I was like, "why is he being so casual about this chair that's about to launch him?"
CallMeCourierSix
I was expecting it to just keep going down, attached to the track. Like, DUDE YOU NEED SCUBA GEAR!

Nah, its for getting me out the water without reaching me like a whale.

Disabled. FYI We don’t say handicapped anymore.

Hey man, I'm in a wheelchair, I'm allowed.
azazyel
Yup, in some places you can rent wheelchairs that work in the sand or actually float.

The tracks would also help to send someone out during high tide or low tide instead of being stationary
4etherling
In America they would be used by morbidly obese MAGA Karens exclusively and they would try to fight you if you were handicapped and needed it.

"Insurance doesn't cover"...Of course they don't...😒😖🤯...But we still pay out the ass!

Hmm. SOunds like you are from USA? Everywhere else it is just covered from the national taxes.
