Swiss Army Wheel Chair Speed Test

In 1999 I had to do military service

Trying hard to deliver the best service to our guests, we tested safety and performance of the army wheel chairs.

the test revealed that the chairs become uncontrollable at speeds exceeding 20km/h because the front wheels start to vibrate, but the breaks remain functional and perfom well.

At lower speeds, direction control is perfomed at the big wheels. This becomes unpracticable at higher speeds, and the breaks are used to control direction to avoid burned fingers.
