PARAPLEGIC CLIMBS STAIRS, Wheelchair to Stair Transfer and Fail

Craig shows you how to transfer to and from the wheelchair and stairs and then how to climb up and down stairs as a paraplegic. Being able to get up and down stairs is a very useful skill to have as a paraplegic as it gives you so many more options of where you can go / stay. Because Craig is able to transfer up and down stairs, it means that we are not just limited to wheelchair accessible properties with ramps / lifts and we've been able to live and stay in many places that would otherwise be inaccessible to us. We demonstrate independent and assisted variants of how you can get up and down stairs. As well as how to avoid sliding back down stairs.

We (Craig and Claire) return home and attempt to go back to normal life 6 months after a cycling accident that left Craig paralysed from the chest down and reliant on a wheelchair. Join us as we learn what it's like to live with a spinal cord injury, discover the challenges wheelchair users have to face and overcome and search for wheelchair accessible hotspots. We want to show you how much paraplegics can still do and that there is life after paralysis!
