I agree with the person above - electric wheelchairs are very dangerous things. I remember when one of our residents electric wheelchair malfunctioned and ran into a wall. The wheels kept going and the damn thing tipped backwards leaving a steamingly drunk, 1 legged irishman on his back with his one leg waving in the air, coming out with the sort of language that would make a sailor blush and calling the manufacturers of said wheelchair some very cheeky names. Getting him the right way up was hampered by his efforts to knock out anyone who came within 2 feet of him and the fact the staff were trying not to laugh without much success.
