Oh my goodness...what a miracle!! This could revolutionize mobility for the disabled, for sure...

By the way, when I first read the Thread heading, I thought you were discussing water closets...

Uh Sally. My thighs aren't that young and thin. AND I think I'd fall right off anyway. Cool, but definitely not for me.

It looks great, but there are a few things wrong with it being for disabled people. I don't know about others, but for me, siting up unsupported like that is more exhausting than even just having something to lean my back against, or sometimes even walking is easier for me than sitting unsupported.

But if they can make this, they should be able to make something along these lines that will work even for people who are more disabled.

Thanks for sharing!

Wonder who Honda thinks would be interested in this machine. I would be on either my head or butt quickly after getting on it.

I'd give it a whirl. I wonder if there is an all-terrain model . . . so I could get back to hiking again! Seriously, I think it looks like a great innovation with great possibilities.

Now, there's an idea! None of this self-toileting nonsense. 8-). Have to wear a lap blanket though.

Looks pretty cool, but I'd need a seatbelt in order to stay on. Yep, that was my first thought, LOL!
