Men invent human backpack to carry their friend

About the solution

Kevan lost the strength in his limbs due to his condition, and he always wanted to travel around Europe. Because he weights about 30kgs, his friends designed a special backpack so they would be able to carry him, without he having to use his wheelchair.

The device features padding, a headrest and a saddle. The team went to France, Ireland and England in the summer of 2016. His friends would take shifts while carrying Kevan.

“My friends and I explored Paris, hiked through the English countryside, and scaled the legendary island of Skellig Michael. And we did it all without my wheelchair! Using a specially designed backpack, my friends carried me where I could otherwise never go. It was incredible! And now we want to make that possible for other disabled folks", Kevan recalled.

The “We Carry Kevan” team is working on a book and a documentary to show that disabled people can also live adventures.
