Interesting, Won't work for all. It assumes the disabled person can be jostled about. Many users with spinal injuries would be in extreme pain.

Oh yee of little faith, articulation and shock apbsorbtion are the keys.

This, using recycled materials could be cost effectively produced.

SUNY should be all over this, I want one.

Think how many barriers in existing buildings wouldn't have to be removed?

That's a good attitude!

Personally assume some of the solution of your own mobility. (Notice I said "some").

But, the good 'ol USA can't afford to pay for handicapped people to get training so they can work & support themselves & their families: We are spending too much on those who are too lazy to work.

2 sets of additional wheels (one front and one back) and an internal gyro could be used to automatically adjust the wheels to differing heights to reduce the jostling. Still, this would be phenomenally expensive.

"Doubter"

Time for a few philanthropists to step up with the seed money.

This is "doable" for less dollars then you think. Quantity ='s discounts and reduced costs.

Users would be able to rejoin society and willing pay their fair share of taxes. There incomes would increase countries GNPs.

Positive "Ripple" effect

Folks, there was already a sure designed and put into use that was even much better than this. It was called the ibot and was actually marketed by Johnson & Johnson. The problem was that because it was more expensive than a conventional wheelchair Medicare and insurance companies wouldn't pay for it even for people that would benefit greatly from it. It ended up being discontinued for those reasons. This chair has the same problem, it's much more expensive than a conventional wheelchair because of the extra capabilities and because of that federal and private insurance is not going to pay for it. This is especially true for Medicare which now has cut back everything significantly to help pay for the Affordable Care Act (please note I didn't even call it ObamaCare). It's another great idea but it won't go anyplace because of money.
