Mercury ? MERCURY ??? Where is the Hazmat Team when you need them?

Lets open a wheelchair museum !!!

Can anyone guess what date or year this would have been?

Rertro-looking but I'm thinking not really old enough 2 b antiques--lovely though.

It's a chin strap for a helmet used to prevent head banging. When I worked in a pediatric psych hospital, you'd occasionally have to put violent kids into holds to prevent injury to self or others. If they started banging their head, you'd use a modified sort of foam football helmet. Or your hand. I broke a knuckle like that.

i totally agree with anna and person,

yet again ,more equipment going to waste.sad

i agree with anna,what a tota l waste of equipment.

There are some adults that are elderly and need to be in cribs to protect them from falling out of bed and or hurting themselves. This is nothing unusual hospitals have been doing this for many years. It only means the person in the crib will not fall out of bed and get hurt, so what is so complicated about it ?

I don't think any one really realized how dangerous these ropes were. LOL. Looking back, climbing 30 feet into the air with nothing waiting for you at the bottom besides hard gym floor was NOT the best of ideas.

It's interesting to see these here. In the shop where I work I came across one of these some time ago. Couldn't find squat for information, but found an almost identical foot pedal attached to a dental drill. So the information Eleanor provided is very interesting to me.

I love how you wait and capture the picture at the right moment

It looks to me like a chair for a quadriplegic designed to keep them as upright and out of the slouched position as possible. it is hand pushed hence the smaller sized large wheels.

@ ferdy (Date unknown) Wheelchair. Red with small handles and fully movable foot rests. Needs some repairs done to the wheels and fabric may need to be washed or replaced.

That just has to be the most terrifying whellchair design Ive seen. It looks like some kind of torture device(and sadly,i bet it could have been to some)
