Please tell me I’ve thwarted all of you “1st” newfaq hopefuls!!!!
first!
get a life idiot.
FIRST!!!!!1!!111!1!
it appears that i stand corrected
Congratulations, your life is complete. Go die now.
LMFAO
Jessica, stop causing trouble for the dumb failbookers that have nothing better to do than yell at people saying First, lol, and can’t tell a joke from their finger up their butts.
Joke? It’s annoying. A joke is meant to be funny. It ceased being remotely amusing the 3rd or 4th time I saw it. This one is probably the 5 or 6 thousandth.
you are a legend. finally a post where these retards are not invading with these “1st” profanities =)
Well you were so close…
Thank buttery Jesus for that.
You’re as pathetic as the people that say “first”.
This is actually brilliant. You rushed to be the first poster, to thwart the posters who were … rushing to be first. To top it off, you included “1st” in your post, thereby making it a successful firstie. Congratulations. You are what you profess to hate.
Wow.. Pedals will be pretty useless..
Well, unless they were hand pedals(aka hand-cranks).
I have a buddy with a wheelchair like that.
$20 says Tom was high when he invented that
haha LMAO
Oh ffs….-_-”
And what if it was a “hand-pedal” instead of a “foot-pedal” ?
FIRST! XD
you fail sir
I’m guessing you didn’t notice his name….
Troll harder faq.
He can`t be serious, can he?
HAHAHAHAH FAIL!
it could be hand cranked
Hasn’t any of the people LTAO here seen any wheelchairs powered by ‘hand-pedals’?
Hmmm, guess not – I just googled all combinations of hand, powered, and wheelchair – didn’t come up with squat
I’ve seen plenty here in India – it’s quite simple, really, just a pedal and sprocket connected to one of the wheels by chain
?
Not everyone in wheelchairs have useless legs – some have heart conditions, fragile hips, etc. Some could use pedals, but not enough to make this a useful invention.
Plus it’s not exactly forward-thinking, as there are electric wheelchairs that let people in them propel themselves by pushing a button.
Well, if their condition is bad enough to confine them to a wheelchair, it means that a doctor doesn’t want them using their legs, and pedaling is arguably more work than just walking. I agree that the pedals would work for someone with fragile hips, but not a heart condition, as the work it takes to pedal would still affect the user’s heart.
No, it means the doctor doesn’t want them standing or putting pressure on their joints. I have a heart condition and some joint problems (that also affect my arms too, btw, making pushing a manual wheelchair impossible) and I can pedal from a sitting position *much* easier than I can walk.
And I’d actually rather pedal than use an electric wheelchair… believe it or not I don’t actually want to get fat, lol. If I *can* pedal (and only 17 percent of the population is in a wheelchair due to paralysis, FYI) I might as well. There are already a few inventions out there to help people in wheelchairs pedal, but they’re all super expensive so I have to rely on people to push me. =/
Well it doesn’t necessarily have to be their legs, they may have a problem with balance.
I’m doing rehab in a nursing facility. There are several people here who use wheelchairs and propel themselves by using their feet. As was already stated, they have various conditions, including nerve problems, that keep people from being able to walk safely but doesn’t stop them from using their legs.
They are more of an exception than they are the rule.
People in wheelchairs are the exception, not the rule. And yet, somebody still felt it would be worth it to make them.
How about pedaling with your hands?
I’d hate to break it to everybody (especially this kid who “invented” it) but they already have pedal cycle attachments available for wheelchairs. There are a wide variety of people who are confined to wheelchairs. Certain degrees of cerebral palsy allow the person to move their legs, but not be able to walk. They would benefit from this sort of leg exercise to strengthen muscles that are otherwise going unused. Also, what about people going through rehabilitation for their legs? Not only would it exercise their legs, but it would be a great alternative to those who don’t want to propel themselves with their hands or with buttons. If you are curious, Sunrise Medical has such a chair called the Cyclone.
pedal’s
v.
peddle
v.
petals (just threw that in for fun)
and so far no one has spelled it correctly.
Including you…
pedals
vs.
pedal’s
:0)
Win.
Also, some people would then call it a bike.
they could use those hand pedals perhaps
Please tell me that there’s really not someone that stupid.
Lol, awesome. Simply, awesome.
I ACTUALLY LOL’D
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!
I would have assumed the Facebook poster was doing a variation of an old “Irish Invention” joke, and not intending for the message to be taken seriously. Some classic “Irish Invention” jokes are…
What’s the latest Irish invention?
Waterproof teabags.
What’s the latest Irish invention?
The inflatable dartboard.
What’s the latest Irish invention?
The peddle powered wheelchair.
Old, old jokes, all of them.
Smoke alarm with a 5 minute snooze?
Anabolic tranquillizer?
Submarine screen door?
Glow in the dark sundial?
its not funny people… these people are multiplying!!!! lmfao.. oh and seriously, someone pllleeeaaasseeee tell me what the HELL is up with the “first” bulls****????
It’s set up! Adam’s comment has a “Delete” button, meaning that he’s the one that has sent it to Failbooking as a sad cry for attention!
Just saying…
Gonna throw my 2 cents with the people who already said it.
They already have those; you use your hands instead of your feet.
I saw several dozen of them when my aunt ran a marathon.
