Amazing.
I wonder how welcome an able bodied person who saw this sport and said “that looks like fun” would be if they tried it. Now, before people start calling me an insensitive bigot, consider the challenges such a person might face, such as having to learn how to drive the chair effectively, the added weight of having non-atrophied legs, etc.
I look at this sport and think that the chairs are state of the art, as they are in marathon racing, and I’m sure that there are many able bodied people who say “that’s cool” and might want to try it. They would enjoy no advantage, but they might have fun and meet some great people.
