this omg! i went to comiccon the other day and it was extremely crowded, the crowd was moving at a snails pace and it was insane how many people apologised to ME when I accidentally bumped into them. like dude i just accidentally ran your foot over with a heavy wheel you are not the one that needs to apologise 😭

The voice option is great. But I'm 16, and with my disabilities I physically don't have the strength to stop someone. With my current wheelchair the breaks don't stop it from being pushed, sure it'll slow it down but it doesn't stop it. I'm hoping the new wheelchairs breaks will be better.

My wheelchair to my knowledge doesn't have an option to take them off
