According to Larry, a 25-year old spinal cord injury survivor,
“I can remember like it was yesterday my first trip in my wheelchair. As I wheeled out of the front door of my house, I neglected to remember that 6-inch step into and out of the house. You can’t even imagine the embarrassment I felt sitting on the ground wondering how I would ever get back into my wheelchair. In the past, I have spent hours on the floor waiting for someone to help me back into my chair – or I have injured myself struggling to climb back up on my own. The Bottoms Up Bar® could have diffused these situations; it should be a basic piece of equipment for anyone with a spinal cord injury.”
