Brooke (32) is just a simple man with woodworking obsession. When he was tidying up is workshop he got careless and dropped the toolbox. Just his luck he dropped it right on the thumbs. He realized that with two broken thumbs (and two other broken fingers) it's just hard to go anywhere. He got a desk job with doesn't require much mobility and his wife can help him commute but he still need something to help him go places. Brooke decided that he needed a wheelchair. Crutches is no option since, you see, he weight almost 300 pounds. So it's kinda heavy on his arms. After dinner he turn on his laptop, open up his favorite search engine and start his research (with a little notebook and pencil to write down important stuff). After a couple of hours he completed his note and decided that he need get a special wheelchair for obese person. These are a couple of Brooke's notes. Have a look if you're interested : 1. A wheelchair of obese person have the seating reinforced with steel frame. It is required to withstand the weight of an obese person riding on it. 2. On some model the tires no longer have air in it. Instead, durable materials such as urethane is used to fill the tires and this makes the wheelchair more robust. 3. Common wheelchairs have a narrow wheelbase and can be hard to maneuver . A wheelchair for obese person have a wider wheelbase thus it's easier to handle. 4. Custom wheelchair for obese person have a wider wheel which means better support. So, after making the decision about the wheelchair He start selecting on which type to use. He understand that with a manual wheelchair he can get a constant exercise though it will only impact his upper part. With an electric wheelchair he can move easily without breaking a sweat. After a while he decided to go for the electric. "If I want a workout then i'll just go to the gym", that's what he think. And he's right. A wheelchair is a mobility device and even if a person is wheelchair bound it should not be considered as an exercise equipment. After finishing his research Brooke went to bed. He dream about riding his new wheelchair, chasing his kids around the house and get scolded by his wife. "Sorry dear", he mumbled in his sleep.
