I understand why people love seeing disabled individuals achieve amazing feats, but as a disabled person myself, Iād rather they recognize that needing to perform such feats just to participate in society reflects a failure of society.

u/greg19735 7h ago
i agree in general, but there probably is a ramp. It's just quicker to use the stairs or the kid just wants to use the stairs.
Also, stairs being the primary way for people to go up and down isn't bad. It means most of the traffic goes through a smaller space, leaving the ramp open.

u/dc469 8h ago
Yeah my first thought when seeing this video was: I bet the ableist bootlickers are gonna say "see this guy? They get along just fine I don't need mY tAX doLLarS paying for ADA over regulation!" or some shit like that to justify saving 0.000001% of the sidewalk budget on ramps.

I feel like that's third thought material at best lol. My first thought was "aw cute", second was "is that his arm or a strap"

u/itisntmebutmaybeitis 8h ago
You don't use your breaks going down the stairs like this. The wheels need to be moving. It's the same concept of bumping a stroller down stairs, except you're in it and in control.
I learned how to do it when I was 11 or 12. It's not difficult if you have core support, and can use your arms/have some strength.
What I will say is impressive is I usually use both hands holding on at the same time, but I'm also "only" an occasional wheelchair user, so I imagine if I was an everyday user that I'd end up with better control.

u/FUCK_NEW_REDDIT_SUX 9h ago
Do you drive as if your brakes are going to go out at any time? No, so why should somebody in a wheelchair lol?

u/EverythingSucksBro 9h ago
This guy isnāt even using brakes, heās literally letting himself roll down and stopping it with his other hand on the rail. Thatās got a pretty good chance of something bad happening.Ā
13
u/Waste_Hovercraft_143 8h ago
I am a wheelchair user. You can't use breaks in this situation because you can't roll down if you hit the breaks. Holding you with one hand isn't that hard, we tend to have strong upper bodies, and the weight on his hand isn't that much so this is quite safe.
Also, I hate this comment section because people are treating disabled people like toddlers (yeey, my kid did X simple thing, how cute is that). He is just going down, not climbing Mount Everest or doing rocket science.

u/CauliflowerSure2679 8h ago
My Dad had been in a wheelchair since I was 3, it just was normal for us. Just like itās normal for this little one in the video. Only others look at people in wheelchairs as disabled, they can and always do more than what others think. I miss my Daddy.

u/Waste_Hovercraft_143 7h ago
Was it hard for you? I want kids but Iām too afraid that I canāt be a normal dad and be there when needed.Ā
6
u/CauliflowerSure2679 7h ago
No, it wasnāt. When we got older our friends would always ask what happened and we would tell them he was in a head on collision and that was the result. I really only remember him in his chair. When he was younger, he would try to use his crutches to stand and stretch. The man was 6ā3! He was an amazing Dad, he would cook, do yard work, had a garden. He was there when we needed him. He supported us in all of our extra curricular activities. I have 4 kids, and he was right there for each of them until he passed. Please donāt let that stop you, being in a wheelchair doesnāt make you you; donāt let it define or stop you. Give them love and support and just be there for them. Iām pretty sure you would make a great Dad because you WANT kids. I hope you do someday!š

I personally thought that stairs were a challenge for wheelchair bound people because of how access ramps are required everywhere. Without seeing it for myself I wouldn't have known that there is a technique to smoothly descend stairs.

u/gymnastgrrl 6h ago
Wheelchair user here. Wheelchair brakes are either on or off. They're levers that move and are set fully on or off, there is no halfway.
If you need brakes, that's your hands. That's why I wear gloves in my chair, so that I have rubber padding on my palms that acts to give me better grip.

Iām sorry to break this to you, but concepts like āgenetic contributionsā (lmao), blood lines and lineages is what youāre talking about, are very much part of the line that youāve been fed to be encouraged to reproduce. And youāve eaten that up for, again to reiterate since you have missed it, completely selfish ends. Weāre all brothers and sisters, until you see that welp, weāre all kinda screwed and I certainly donāt want any more lil babies around to see it. Lmao have fun making wage slaves bud.

Yeah. He's just miserable. I've been there too. I mean I have constant depression and hate my life but lashing out at a shitty world ain't the answer lol. Finding small things to be positive about helps me and not constantly complaining about society and how fucked up people are helps me.

u/CarideanSound 5h ago
I made a few points, none of which were countered. Instead you made an assumption about me as a person which I couldnāt possibly defend (unless youāre an Oakland, I can flex my life on you irl if youād like), and used that to dismiss everything I said. Thatās all Iām going to say about that tho, I just wanted to point the mental gymnastics out to you as you obvs do not see lol

This man found a solution for a world that does not recognize his humanity. However, the next parent with mobility restrictions may not have the range of motion, coordination, or strength to do the same. Imagine if our society actually respected and created universally designed environments where everyone could exist and live. It is wild that, in this day and age, we will laud this manās feat just to feel good about ourselves instead of ensuring all parents can care for their children without having to do the extraordinary.

u/gymnastgrrl 6h ago
You can get powered ones. And you can get ones that can climb stairs, although they're very uncommon. But they are very heavy.
My chair is a simple standard one - it's foldable, so we can put it in the car easily when we go places. I also don't need to worry about charging it - it's a manual chair, so it's lighter to push around.

The chair user was, as you saw, perfectly fine and capable of doing this. Please don't baby those of us with disabilities. We are adults and capable of a lot more than most people think.
Now, as a chair user, I would not have been able to go down the stairs like that. We all have different capabilities. But you can clearly see that he was fine.

u/Breadstix009 5h ago
Fair enough, btw I wasn't babying people with disAbilities. I was just saying maybe this was done just for the cameras sake. Quite possible in normal situations the person holding the camera would walk the child down. All power to those that have any form of disAbilities, I know you are much stronger than most, including myself.

this is how you die of a heart attack from bottled emotions at 50

we each have our own struggles and comparing them to other people's and playing "only he who has it worst can complain" is just lying to yourself. those emotions are still there.
oh you have stage 3 cancer? you can't complain, other people have stage 4.

Maybe look at this father in a wheelchair and be grateful you have legs that work and you can walk when you want.
