Rollator! Walkers with Wheels
FYI just in case any of you use one or know of anyone who uses one, I have seen dozens of these things flip with people who are riding on them.
I am referring to the walkers with wheels that have a seat that is intended ONLY to rest not to ride. Please never push anyone or ride on one of these devices unless you want to go to the ER with head injuries!
Most have a decal on the frame to tell people NOT to ride on them.
"The most important thing to remember when using a rollator is to not have anyone push you while you?re are sitting in them. The rollator is a walking aid only and should not be used as a transportation device. Most rollators are designed as a walking aid only and using them for other non approved purposes could pose a threat to the individual using them. A rollator is used to make walking safer and easier.
They often come with a seat in case you need to sit and relax for while.
Rollators are designed to be used with someone sitting in them. Don?t try to push someone in a rollator"

My Granny started all of us calling it her "Pony"
My mother has a pony now. Nobody rides on it, but I'm certain my mother is going to eat some dirt one day because of how far out she is always pushing the thing. Its like she is trying to get as far away from it as she can.
She has a cane too.....we've all started calling that her car club because it sounds like she is fighting invisible ninjas when she gets in a car with that thing.0 -
Like the Segway, it will come to be known as a personal ass-buster. 0 -
Lady got flipped over today at the door, bystanders wanted to call EMS but her caregiver who was pushing her said no and took her into see her Doctor. Her Doc sent her for X-rays and wanted to know if the building was going to pay for it.
"Nope she was being pushed on the walker and their is no liability for the building" He said she denied that and I said "well tell them I have video". [:D]
