That'd be one hell of a ride. Must have had a really well-made wheelchair.

Apparently the wheelchair was able to withstand four miles at 50 MPH but doesn't have an effective cup holder.

At what cost, at what cost...

That's terrible. He could have been killed. He was very lucky.

My first immediate respsonse was "HOLY CRAP!" I bet thats really good publicity on the wheel chair manufacturers part. I wouldnt be suprised if we see a commercial on it soon....:D

But yeah; He was extremely lucky and I'm glad this story actually had a happy ending, too many stories these days are too depressing if you know what I mean.

Well......you just dont hear too many stories with good turnouts. To many articles are about who died, who got maimed, how many soldiers are dead now. Nobody seems to print alot of good things that happen in the world, (they do have these stories, dont get me wrong) but sometimes I feel they print alot more negitive than positive. (sorry, this is sort of an opinion).

Thanks for hearing me out.

I'm suprised he didn't have a blow out. It's also good that he was on a free way. If they were on a place that had a lot of twists and turns who knows what would have happened.

The media does print more negative stories than positive ones, they do it so that they can gain viewers because bad things happening is much more dramatic than good things. Think about it, if you went to see a movie and everyone was perfectly happy at the beginning, they had tea and crumpets and talked about how nice everything is, and then the movie ended know one would watch it because it was boring. Now i know the news is supposed to be unbiased and truly tell us whats going on in the world, but the truth is news organizations are companies trying to make a profit and to do that they need to get viewers. So until people on the planet change, we're going to get the bad news first and the good news later.
