Where's that bottom step going though?
If you check where the handrail supports are each step with one extends out and supports the beams
I am suspicious that this is ai.
There are very strange contractual elements and structural decisions in all of this, yet i find no digital artifacts.
But nothing really sticks out as ai. The text is legible even though a bit blurry. I doubt ai would get that right.
i dont know for sure, but the support beams dont look like they are attached to anything
Which support beams? The handrail supporst are fixed to an extended step where they are. I assume that is the same for the lowest one.
Put a winch at the top and this could work..
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
Everything is relative anyway. Just choose a different plane of reference and you're good to go!

I think he's talking about Superman by Goldfinger. I think that was in thps1 though
Pfff... Goddamn fact checkers and their party pooping...

Lights out!
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.
awesome vid but that dude is chasing a serious injury
The "let me just jump into a new wheelchair" was fantastic
i was digging the grind down the center of the chair
but i wish he wouldn’t do flips, those chairs are heavy and he barely had clearance
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.
Checkbox compliance
BRB, launching a disabled person across the carpark.
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.
This looks not so safe for people who aren’t in a wheelchair.
