Slopes, Ramps and Obstacles:
Slopes, ramps and obstacles can be dangerous. Even experienced wheel chair
drivers can get into trouble by underestimating the slope, ramp or obstacle before
driving on it. Do not drive on slopes, ramps or over obstacles that might cause you
to fall or injure yourself or others around you.
Slopes and ramps can be especially dangerous when wet, uneven, covered
with gravel, sand, ice or grass or not secured properly. Traversing a slope, ramp or
obstacle on an angle can present further danger of side tip over. To prevent harm
or injury, only drive on slopes and ramps that are ADA approved and properly
maintained. Use caution and a slow speed setting when approaching the slope,
ramp or obstacle. Only drive straight up or down slopes, ramps and obstacles. Do
not exceed the obstacle or ramp climbing capability of your power chair.
