For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

if they added a handrail it would probably be usable
For a brief moment in time, nana never felt more alive.

TÜV sagt nein.
DIN 18040
Ramps, external ramp, internal ramp, handrail
Access areas at entrances with a gradient of 3% or more must be designed as ramps. With a length of up to 10 m, a longitudinal gradient of up to 4% is permitted. Ramps must be safe to walk and drive on. Drainage must be ensured in the outdoor area.
Ramps in public areas must always be designed in accordance with DIN 18040-1 with a maximum gradient of 6% and without a transverse gradient!
- Longitudinal gradient: max.6%
- Transverse gradient: 0
- Clear width: min.1.20m
- Length of ramp run: max.6.00m
- Length of intermediate landing: min.1.50m
- Height of wheel deflector: min.0.10m
- Height of handrail on both sides: 0.85 to 0.95m with flush finish
- Handrail diameter: 0.035 to 0.04m
6% gradient, 100% gradient, what's the difference really

I know a couple wheelchair users who would send it. There are guys here in medellin that ride their wheelchairs in the skate parks.
I wonder how those guys ended up in wheelchairs.
There must be one who were always more risky but I have heard some change after an accident and think, well what could go wrong now, might as well go for it
"What's the worst that happens, I break a leg?"
About to say, some guy in a wheelchair with the ol Popeye forearms is gonna break records on that ramp.
I would love to see that, is competitive wheelchair skateboarding a thing? Because I'd watch the shit out of that!
It's a thing. It's called WCMX like BMX but wheelchair instead of bike.
Found a video. Legit looks pretty sick. I just can't help but think that the tech still looks pretty primitive, and wonder what future iterations of these chairs will look like.
Fuck, that's amazing! That guy is pretty impressive.
The chairs are essentially full suspension bmx frames and wheels in the form of a wheel chair. They’re legit.
When its wet like this it would serve as a great slide. Just take some plastic sheet or something and down you go :)
And wear your plate mail underpants, lest you learn the true meaning of splinters.
That's why you need the sheet
Linoleum works great for this
Just make sure nobody is on the way up/down lmao
Just need some redbull
Cowabunga, it is.

ACCESSIBLE
The insult on top
What's wrong, McFly? Chicken?
This looks not so safe for people who aren’t in a wheelchair.
Launch pad.
Weeeeeeeeee (said in Glados' voice from portal)
Weeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Risky.
They polished and waxed it to prevent splinters!
Weeeee!
Not for a wheel-chair, but a tractor-chair.
Meant for rapelling?
