Claudia, I can see how patients would be a little afraid of this thing. If I had the choice, I think I'd rather have the sores than be strapped to this contraption and spun around!

same here. Back in the day when these were popular and everyone had one, they also had piano movers. Try to find a piano mover today. I had an upright grand piano like this but mine was a player piano so it was even heavier, probably about a thousand pounds. When I moved out of the apartment I was in, I had to hire people with a crane in order to get this out the front window. I'm glad I took pictures because no one believed it when I told them.
