One time when I was coming out of rehab the therapist forgot to put my chest
strap back on and as I was driving down the driveway, into a major street, I
felt forward and knew that there was nothing I could do. My caregiver was
across the street opening up the van and could not hear me yelling. Luckily,
there was no traffic and I made it home alive that day.
It seems like no matter how many times I've run over my service dog she is
always under wheels.
My family and other animals have learned to jump out of the way when they
are to the click of the joystick.
Take care and play nice Tammie Lou

There is a difference between sympathy and empathy, sympathy is feeling for
an empathy is feeling with.

I've done the power chair two step when people's coats hang on my joystick.
I've backed over numerous animals. I backed down a flight of stairs by
accident. Amazingly, the chair and I suffered only minimal damage. It just
flipped
on it's back and slid down. Lost my backpack and some battery acid, but when
flipped back on my wheels I was only suffering from a hell of a rush.
Do crushed feet count? I've got 5 so far.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Falling Out of Chair?
Anyone ever accidentally drive their chair into a pool or ditch, or fall out
of your chair?
I¢ve tipped sidewise or fallen forward and couldn¢t sit back up, but have
always stayed in the chair.
But I have bumped my control joystick and scared myself being close to a
pools edge.
