Wheelchair stair climbing using homemade handrail invention

So this is going back up. This was the very first time I used and tested this rail,before this,I was not sure it would work. This could be built very quickly and easily with heavy shelf brackets and a wooden hand rail. I think this invention would make a good option for young,strong newly disabled people returning to a house with stairs.(and it's good exercise without tweaking your body into weird positions like some other ways of stair climbing with a wheelchair.)

Not many people in wheelchairs are that strong

@IWPRO Many more people just have no desire to even try this. The rail makes it easier, but I have seen a 90 lbs para woman climb a whole flight of regular stairs using my 40lbs chair, without even get out of breath. The key is the cam-locks that allows resting between pulls.

@ebaysutube OHHH ok now i get you but may i ask wuts the cam-locks

[ebaysutube]

@IWPROThey are "hill-holders" in reverse that I carved out of solid aluminum (the plastic ones work, but the torque on stairs is many times what they're designed for)

You can see them close up at minute 3:15 of the 8th vid in the line up on my channel. Thanks for watching.

Fantastic, I have recently been in wheelchair due to neurological problems, I am seeking new ideas to help me fit in. This is very helpful, thank you- Jonathan
