Until the people who just don’t want to walk, or like to play around like children, get them and ruin it for everybody else. lol
I was part of a team in uni who worked with a state park to develop a plan for one of these and this was one of the biggest concerns for us. We ended up deciding that it was a self-selecting process anyway. Speaking candidly, very few obese people have any interest in going outdoors and it's not like these chairs are super comfy or easy to ride. The people who take the initiative to schedule one and go through the orientation/training process probably have valid reasons for needing the chair and are most likely motivated to go outdoors, as well. It's been a few years since I talked to the park ranger we worked with, but it seemed like that was there hadn't really been any issues w/r/t your concerns.
Please forgive for hijack, but I have thoracic damage that makes posture about like lifting weights where I fade to failure fast sitting or standing. Do you know of anyone working on support for issues like this from your time in Uni?
Yeah 100% this is going to carry fat people all day and absolutely wreck the nature they want to visit. Daily groups of 400+ kgs on treads will do that
Have you ever seen that in real life? I haven’t.
To the contrary, my only experience is how my mother has behaved. Yeah, she’s very overweight but has legitimate mobility issues. As she started up having more trouble getting around, it was really hard on her pride and sense of independence to accept any mobility aids. I finally had to get blunt: your grand-kids are doing X: if you want to see them, you need to use a chair. I’ll push, I’ll rent, I’ll carry, but I’m not trapping my kids at home for your pride
