Man in Wheelchair Takes Wild Ride...

Too bad about the spilled soda...  

LMAO, I wonder what the official land speed record is for a wheelchair? I think I'd be pretty darn impressed with the construction of a wheelchair that can hit 50 mph and maintain that speed for 4 miles w/o falling apart. Bet those tires were smoking....lmao

And to think my mum used to complain about me pushing her in a wheel chair when I was a kid after her botched hip replacement. Honestly I don't think I got above 25mph (okay I did take corners on 2 wheels with me hanging off the back but hey I never crashed)

What a wild ride .......... I'm glad he enjoyed it   :-/ :-/

Saw/heard the story on the local news tonight. The tires had to be replaced. The news had a clip of him doing circles in the tire shop. I reckon he was testing out his new treads. They also showed his burned up tires sitting on the floor of the shop. There was also a still photo showing him stuck to the grill of the semi and a recoreded 9-1-1 call of a motorist describing his dilema to an emergency services operator.
Yes, apparantly, life has officially become a cartoon.

How do you get stuck on the grill of a semi-truck? Doesnt that mean he had to be riding his wheelchair on the freeway :-?

The story implied he was crossing the street and the truck driver didn't see him and somehow his wheelchair's handles got wedged in the truck's grill.

I think he did it on purpose.  After all: he wasn't upset, he didn't try to sue or anything, the wheelchair arms were mysteriously stuck in the grill . . . etc.

I think he was riding in front of it and decided he wanted a push . . . he just didn't realize just how much of a push he would actually be getting!

Saw this on the internet the other day. Now that's the ride of a lifetime...

"The man spilled his soda pop, but he wasn't upset," Sgt. Kathy Morton of the Michigan State Police said.

Haha!

LOL!!!!!  Didn't happen that way, but it would be a hoot if it did!  

So now how long is it going to be before some buffoon rigs up some kind of wheeled chair that he attaches to the front of a pick-up truck and goes down the road in it, his buddy at the wheel? Give a kid an idiotic idea and sooner or later, he will put it into action.
