Patient develops sand rider wheelchair

由 Jo Roth 于 2014-04-28 14:11 分享

About the solution

Fertig stayed back at the house so he wouldn’t be a burden while everyone played near the water. Frustration fueled his desire to invent a new, lightweight, manageable sand wheelchair. He enlisted help from his son, Chris, a marine engineer for Maersk Line Ltd. After 2½ years and four prototypes, they developed Sand Rider.
Sand Rider looks similar to a jogging stroller. It has two 19-inch wheels in the back and a 12-inch wheel in front. It weighs about 50 pounds and has polyurethane wheels which make it roll easily over soft sand.

关于发明者

Bill Fertig, from USA, struggled with beach vacations for years since a motorcycle wreck left him a paraplegic. On a trip to Nags Head one summer, Fertig relied on a cumbersome wheelchair that even the strongest member of his family could barely push through the sand.
