30,000 American's die from pressure sores each year. Not sure this would be a good idea without extreme caution.
Nimashisah
Pressure sores?
laacis2
Fancy name for lazy assing around in bed to an extreme and losing skin from friction and blood vessel blocking to death.
Oh dang! Makes me wanna get even more active now x.x
Common for those in wheelchairs as they can't easily be active on certain areas of their body. And friction from movement does not help.
Yeah. When you are quad or paraplegic not moving your legs and ass is lazy.
relicen
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's more common for people to die from it because the sores become infected which can lead to sepsis.

I worked in the mobility industry for 15 years. The real world applications of these types of things is very limited.
CompletelyUniqueUsername
I have seen stuff since the 80s for various chairs which can stand up to normal height, climb stairs etc. Never seen one IRL
Yes, there is a chair to match each assessed client. The issue with ATV chairs is terrain is too variable. So often it is 1/2...
2/2 ...easier to just cut the tracks for normal chairs and adapt a tractor, eg for a farmer
By " cut the tracks " I mean improve the path from the farmers house to the equipment and tractor sheds. From there, normal farm work
poorwhitetrash
It’s like a 4 wheeler but much more expensive and with limited uses!
MetalheadCobra
If people live outside of big cities, this thing might be much more helpful, than you think.

I work with a lot of folks in wheelchairs who can't use 4 wheelers. I wish they would make an affordable & safe option for those individuals
Sticklebrickk
It's like a CAT without the bucket and a safety enclosure!
HamSauce
I think you're referring to a skid steer/skid loader. CAT is a company that does make those but they also have many other vehicles.
wutupchuck
One use is making people who are stuck in wheelchairs feel better you mediocre cover band of a human.
Katateochi
yeah, it has recreational uses, but I'm struggling to see it being much use as a practical workhorse
Jeizen
But... People in wheelchairs can use 4-wheelers...
TippityToesAppearsToBeTaken
But shouldn't people in wheelchairs be able to drive four wheelers? The legs do nothing and you use the thumb to accelerate.
ToxSynTV
Depents on where paralysis starts? If they can't hold themselves up and are strapped into the wheelchair chest harness style they wouldn't -
Be able to stay up with just their legs strapped to a 4wheeler. They need the chair back for support.
Ohh okay. So basically they would need a modified four wheeler with good support for their back (?)
phacemelter
You say that like people in wheelchairs can't buckle into an ATV.
sandalscout
Paraplegic here, I can almost certainly get onto my motorcycle (sidecar) and dune buggy easier that this. Still, I'd try this at least once.
DuckyofDeath123
They know, that's how they got to be in a wheel chair to begin with, in many cases.

“Hey insurance, I need a fuck load of money” “for what?” “A tank wheelchair” “oh sick bro here ya go”
They can't bring the ATV into the Walmart.

It would be kinda terrifying to turn a corner and see that thing blocking the isle, revving the engine, then charging right at me.
