What Could Go Wrong?: Skis For Wheelchairs & Strollers

April 25, 2012 in bad product photos, but i don't wanna go out in the snow, cold, dangerous, death wish, flying off a cliff, freedom, ice, iffy, no thank you, questionable, skis, snow, sure why not, what could go wrong?, wheeeeeeeeeee!, winter, winter sports, you about to have the ride of your life, zoom zoom

Parenting: you two suck pretty hard at it.

Wheelblades are $248 skis for wheelchairs and strollers designed to make them easily pushable in the snow. Why you'd even want to go out in the snow if you were in a wheelchair or stroller is beyond me, but my guess is it wasn't your choice. 'No it's cool, I'll stay in here by the fire', I imagine a wheelchair-bound Geekologie Writer saying. But do I get to? Nooooooo, some a-hole is gonna go push me around in the cold to "experience the season" and "get some fresh air". Listen: I'm cool with ANY air. As long as it doesn't have a fart in it, I'll be fine. If it does have a fart in it, I'll be gagging and yelling "I'LL F***ING KILL YOU -- WHAT KIND OF SICK HUMAN BEING CROPDUSTS A MAN IN A WHEELCHAIR?!" *rereading post* Oh yeah, solid as a rock!

Hit the jump for several more shots.

    Not sure if the girl in the first pic is wearing sunglasses, or has monstrous eyebrows.

    Why would you be taking your kids out in the snow in a stroller/pram anyway. 

  • I can see the wheelchair ones having utility (people with disabilities need to get out in the snow, too), but the stroller one is just asking for trouble.

  • Who the frick takes their kid up a mountain!? Plus, GW, if you did reread your post you still managed to put image instead of imagine.

  • Exhibit (A) on child custody lawsuit.
