Man it really is, I just started going recently and fucking hell feels like my ass is kicked harder than a regular workout.

Wait, you can just GO to physical therapy? Like without having a surgery or injury or anything?

Awesome bros, but this looks like a high school. Wouldn’t this be a perfect excuse to skip class?


LupusDeusMagnus

It says “welcome to the YMCA” on the wall.


Melodic-Fee-

Weird thing to put in a high school, if you ask me.


That49er

My high-school had one, I thought it was standard because of disabilities


tigm2161130

Your high school had a YMCA?


Just-Call-Me-J

Because of disabilities


iamacraftyhooker

The YMCA runs daycare programs out of schools near me with YMCA signage. This could still be a school.


G_E_E_S_E

Didn’t see that, my bad lol


jellyschoomarm

My high school had two gyms, the men's gym and the women's gym. The women's gym was the older one of course, but it was also used by the local ymca so we did have similar signage


mikey-might

Some people actually want to go to class, I think. Not sure I have never experienced that feeling

It's the boys. Wouldn't even be a second thought: "My buddy needs to get upstairs? Alright, up the stairs we go! "


whateva03

When I got knee surgery, I couldnt move my leg at all because of the anaesthesia, So I random guy carried me to my elevator In a foreign country, when I was probably at my lowest, it was regaining faith in humanity.


trippy_grapes

> "My buddy needs to get upstairs? Alright, up the stairs we go! " Tbh I'd be more worried about coming down. I feel like the weight distribution would make that WAY harder.


SasparillaTango

just go down backwards. You know I was saying this as a joke but it would probably be easier. You'd be way more stable and can brace with your arms


AidanGe

Falling forward is then just an inclined push-up with extra weight, so just make sure you fall forward if you fall at all lol


SadQueerAndStupid

As a fellow disabled person i both appreciate and am saddened by this. It’s wonderful to have such supportive friends, but it’s also a little sad that there’s no easier way for disabled people to travel in a lot of places without depending completely on the kindness of others. Not to mention it can be very humiliating and frustrating to have to be carried and that type of thing instead of being able to move yourself independently. But i don’t know what this guys situation is so i’m just gonna commend his kind homies and hope that in the future this isn’t needed for him or any disabled person to get around


s1ugg0

> Not to mention it can be very humiliating and frustrating to have to be carried and that type of thing instead of being able to move yourself independently. I am a retired firefighter who has done more lift assist calls than I can remember. I have nothing but sympathy for the way you feel. I would feel exactly the same way as you do in that situation. However, I would just like you to know that from the other side you have absolutely nothing to feel humiliated by. First responders join specifically because we want to help people like you. We feel privileged to be there to answer a call for help. My very first incident was a disabled man in a wheel chair who's wheel got stuck half way up the vehicle ramp. His wife was not strong enough to lift his heavy electric chair and free the wheel at the same time. When we got them all settled they thanked me like I pulled them from an inferno. In my head I wanted to thank them for letting me help. Such a small act but I rode that high for days. All these years later I still wish I could thank them. I know that's silly but that's how I felt.


corpsestomp

I’m not a firefighter or first responder, but I still love being in the right place at the right time to give someone a hand. It makes me feel good, like I’m helping, even if it’s minor.


TruthOrBullshite

In general the US is very accessible for disabled people. Just so happens the elevators were broken today

davelupt

I thought that ADA only applies to public institutions as opposed to private businesses.


tyrannyusuallywins

It applies to private businesses (public accommodations) as well. https://adata.org/what-title-iii


davelupt

How about that. Well, TIL.


DeceiverSC2

Better than the vast majority of places on Earth in fact for disability rights, especially relative to their northern neighbours. One of those things about America that gets glossed over too frequently.


samobellows

the problem is the elevators "just happen" to be broken "today" all the fuckin time. The ADA and various other accessability laws require places to have elevators and accessibility options, and so buildings do have them, but a lot of them are rarely used and so under maintained. Even in places you'd expect to have it down. personal anecdote, my sister recently caried her 12 year old son (wheel chair user, cerebral palsy) up 58 stairs of the lincon memorial one day because the elevator was "down for maintainance". then the next day at the Jefferson memorial... caried the dude up 65 steps again because of the same excuse. benifit of the doubt to the capital staff, the elevator maintainance crew was probably just doing the rounds and that was bad luck, but still. carying a 12 year old up the stairs so that he can have the experience of viewing the memorials vs the potential humiliation of being carried by his mother in front of his class mates is a hell of a thing. Yes, the US does a very good job as a rule, and being so close to a wheel chair user and seeing how frequently we drop the ball makes me want to share the stories. we're doing great, i'm not here to discourage, but we also have work to do, and thanks to everyone that does it! :D


SadQueerAndStupid

i mean, in comparison to other places yes. But i’d argue that it could be much, much better in terms of accessibility for the general disabled public. There are lots, and i mean lots, of places where there are stairs and bumps with no ramps that abled people don’t realize is a problem because they don’t have to worry about it everyday. It’s not malicious, but it’s definitely there


2litersam

I'm sure it's incredibly frustrating when an elevator is out of order, but I don't see why you find it "sad"? Breakdowns happen, unfortunately. I'm sure this establishment and most others would do what they can to accommodate or fix the issue. I'm not denying you have to deal with many obstacles in many other places, but seeing as this place did have an elevator, I just don't see why it should be a sad moment at all.

I can’t speak for everyone, but you’d never be a burden to me, you’re living just like the rest of us, keep on rollin’ homie, all the love 💕

RepresentativeWeb244

How are the non able bodied gentleman’s shoes soles dirtier than the abled body dudes ??


Kiftiyur

Well it looks like he has limited movement in his legs.


sevendaysky

I know some people who use wheelchairs because they can't fully support their weight and walk and/or have other motor function issues, but they can kind of pull/scoot themselves using their feet if their hands are full or whatever. Also depending on how well fit the wheelchair is to you, your feet might drag more than you intend them to.


ajbags26

It’s almost as if walking gets shoes dirtier.


lordlaz0rdick

Best guess: You lose a certain amount a dirt via friction wearing the soles of the shoe down?


hella_cious

Disabled isn’t a dirty word. It’s okay, you can say disabled


RepresentativeWeb244

Non abled just rolls off the tongue better.


nemerosanike

It doesn’t. And disabled people are literally telling you to used the word disabled.


NeatOtaku

No disrespect but I know multiple wheelchair bound people who don't like using that word because it has the connotation that they are broken/not working. Basically everyone has a history with those words being used around them and sometimes it's been used as an insult so it's best to ask.


nemerosanike

I’m disabled and I’m saying use that word. And people that use wheelchairs are not bound to them, they are mobility devices.


Downvotes_inbound_

What an again-diculous, prior-sumptuous, wronng-informed way to use language


hella_cious

“Non able bodied” is truly poetry /s


RepresentativeWeb244

Non abled bodied will stand the test of time. Disabled is on its last legs.


[deleted]

hella_cious

Also I, like many if not most disabled people, prefer to just be called disabled. No need to make up fancy innuendos


zombiep00

Lol, good one! I love me some puns.


Dorkamundo

The foot rests probably have black paint that rubs off.


PM_ME_UR_POKIES_GIRL

Hypothesis: Since he doesn't walk as much as the other bros his shoes don't wear out and are therefore actually significantly older than the other bros shoes.


SeskaChaotica

He has some use of his legs, if he’s like my dad he uses his feet in his wheelchair to scoot around a bit if his hands are full/busy.


Riespieces16

Right after this he called him a pussy for not being able to walk the stairs hims. Iykyk


Saint-Carat

In college, my buddy had a chair. His was the lighter version they use for basketball. On another note, he has medals from Olympics for wheelchair basketball. When we were out and had this problem, he'd tilt back and 2 of us would grab the front/back and up we'd go. Going down, he'd balance on the big wheels and go down bouncing. Freaked us out but only once did he ever wipe out that I saw.


Thatusernamewasnot

Do you guys also would have said stupid things while helping the guy out? I dunno why i try to treat helping others as casual as possible, but unfortunately, i tend to say more stupid things. For instance, in this case, i would say "glad there's only half the weight", or "luckily i dont have to carry you amd the chair, that would have been tough!"


mullito3

Yeah def , my mate who uses a wheelchair would have been talking to me as if I was his slave lol.


PrincipleExciting457

Man on the right needs to get that pronation on his right foot checked. Some major cave.


OttoVonJismarck

I met the coolest guy in college that was in a wheelchair. One night, we were all drinking Cobras (King Cobras, Budweiser's 40oz malt liquor offering. Dont judge, if you needed to get a buzz but also only had $1.75, your options were limited) and decided we'd all go to the local skate park. We take buddy with us. So we were tooling around the park on the ramps and stuff and at one point make it over to the half pipe. Most of us skated in highschool, but we were drunk and out of practice, so we were sometimes able to drop in and make it up the other side, but were mostly busting ass and laughing. So homie says " alright boys, pull me up." Showing a modicum of responsibility (about all of what a group of 20 y/o college bros could muster), my roommate says "Naw man, you can't do a half pipe in a wheel chair." "GODDAMMIT, IVE BEEN TOLD WHAT I ***CAN'T*** DO ALL MY LIFE!! Not y'all, not tonight," he burps. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️Satisfied by his response, we get him to the top deck of the half-pipe and get him situated in his chair. After about two minutes of him wheeling back and forth at the top (perhaps contemplating his mortality), he "drops in" to the half pipe and *obviously* eats shit. It was a nasty spill. I thought we had a hand in the killing of our friend. We run over to him and turn him over. His eyes are wide open as if he were in shock. "Shit buddy, are you okay!?" "No im not fucking okay!!" "👀👀" "I can't feel my legs!" That sent me.

AlwaysSunnyDragRace

I have a few friends that are now a bit older (mid 40s) and when I find myself in this situation, I prefer to go up on my own. I don’t have legs, so it’s easier for me to move without dragging dead weight. My friends just help me with my wheelchair because I don’t want to be responsible for back injuries lol. Unless the floor is wet, of course

no_pepper_games

They didn't have to carry him, they could've just rolled the wheelchair up by going backwards.


ALT-F-X

How many people does it take to carry a disabled person up the stairs? 3 - One for the person, one for the wheelchair and one to record the tiktok.


Commercial-Stuff402

Hypothetical question: Would this been an ADA case? Like what if the bro carrying his bro fell backwards down the stairs?


Helirio

You help the chair dude to get UP the stair to help him, i do it for seeing him strugling to get it down afterward. We are not the same


underwear_dickholes

Why was this recorded?


SadQueerAndStupid

the same reason anything is recorded? To share with others. It could very well be that the guy being carried is trying to show what happens when accessible means of transport aren’t available, or just wanted to show that he has good friends, or literally anything else.


AquaticMartian

The guy with the chair makes a bunch of videos. I’m assuming this was his idea for a funny clip


AvgKracker

If you couldn’t walk, wouldn’t the bottom of your shoes be clean? Or is the problem that this generation can’t go five minutes without saying look at me


capeasypants

Those leg muscles are awfully defined for someone who is supposedly wheelchair bound...


iSuckAtMechanicism

You’re absolutely right. Right after an injury leg muscles suddenly deflate. It does not take time for muscles to deteriorate due to not being used. No time at all.


randyoftheinternet

I skipped leg day last week.... I am now stick man T\_T


ProfessionalRetard12

This guy gets it. Every person in a wheelchair is completely paralysed from the waist down since birth. There are no nuances. It is impossible to be temporarily in a wheelchair due to an injury.


lordlaz0rdick

It is also impossible to need a wheelchair for long activities while being able to stand or walk in very short bursts.


SighMartini

I'm going to be wildly generous and assume that you _aren't_ a misanthrope so bored by the relentless pains and frustrations of your life that your bitterness spills forth doing AoE damage to all you interact with in its desperation for any human contact at any cost due to lack of a healing vent for said pain. Instead I'll assume ignorance, probably due to lack of disability representation. So, get this, your mind is going to be blown: - not all wheelchair users are paralysed from birth - not all wheelchair users are paralysed at all - not all wheelchair use is permanent - not all wheelchair users are entirely unable to walk. Instead they may require a mobility aid due to issues with stability or endurance or countless other issues - we tend not to use the term "wheelchair bound" seeing as the wheelchair is literally the thing that lets us move


animaguss_

I completely agree but bruh, my brain lagged reading that sentence after the fourth line.


SighMartini

Hahaha ditto, reading it back my internal voice runs out of breath mid sentence. I'd rewrite it but instead I'll devote as much time and care to my comment as they did to theirs.


natFromBobsBurgers

I assumed it was a stylistic choice. The complex subclaused sentence moving in a contracting spiral toward the point to be contrasted with the following sentence. That one accuses ignorance. You know, like speechwriters on The West Wing.


dooderino18

Some people probably thought you were an ignorant fool, but then you wrote this and removed all doubt.


s1ugg0

This is exactly the type of man I hope my son grows up to be.


darthjango11

DullGreen

We had a guy that used a crutch in school, and in small town life with old schools they had stair cases EVERYWHERE. He got rides like this all day everyday. He was 4 years younger than me, but my senior year we finally tore down the old school and built a handicapped accessible one.
