4. “How are you disabled?”

   “…Leg disabled.”

5. I’m pretty sure this was a Little Britain sketch

6. I once had to softly slow down a lady whos daughter had let go of her on the Sainsbury’s travelator. “SOMEBODY HELP” she yelped. She was HURTLING down it. Amazing how fast wheeled chairs gather momentum.

7. Looks like Lou and Andy!

10. Sure thats Lou and Andy

11. Yeah, I know.

12. Excuse my ignorance on this matter, but reading the subtitles on the news I noticed the US is part of the “urging”; what does the US have to do with Republic of Ireland and NI?? Am i missing something?

13. Andy and lou. 😂

14. You’d be surprised how fast wheelchairs can move.

    While visiting Poland I was robbed at a railway station by two disabled men – a man in a wheelchair (both legs amputed) and his friend with one leg on crutches. It all happened so fast and they both got away. The man in the wheelchair was speeding down the street and his friend was going like the clappers on his crutches.

    I didn’t chase them because, because.. you generally assume that people with disabilities aren’t going to rob you.

    Even worse was trying to report it to the police in English which they claimed to be able to speak, but this started out trying to convince them that I was the one who was robbed and I wasn’t trying to rob people with disabilities.

    In the end I gave up and cut my losses.

15. want that one

16. Where’s “Yackity Sax,” when you need it?

17. “freedommmmm… weeeeeeeeee!!!”

18. lol I thought he was just cruisin’ down the slope, he looked so calm and collected, right up till I saw the guy belting it after him.

19. It was all downhill for him after that

20. That’s a steep drop, used to go down on my bike as a kid. I bet he had a blast.

21. I heard they are doing wheely good

22. Freeeeeeeeeeeeedommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

23. I’m from Belfast and I’m a wheelchair user!

    I’ve actually done this intentionally in the past. Quite fun!

    No, that’s not me in the video though.

24. It’s unlikely to be the worse accident he was in, so I wouldn’t worry.

25. Are they filming Little Britain in the background?

    Looks like Lou and Andy.

26. Looks like something from an episode of Last of the Summer Wine

27. I’ve done this sort of thing before in my chair…the speed you can get up to is insane. all it takes is a few seconds and you’re at ludicrous speed.
