In this video, we'll explain why wheelchair ramp length and slope are very important when it comes to safety.
ADA guidelines recommend 12 inches (1 foot) of ramp for every 1 inch of rise. Rise is the distance between the ground and the threshold of your door or the top of your porch or wherever you are trying get a person in a wheelchair.
Watch to see a visual example of how a short ramp can be very dangerous to both the person with a disability and/or a caregiver.
