I broke my ankle last week. I'm new to the risks of being a "Para Walkie" and down I went.

I thought the Seg would sit and it would be wheelchair time again (yuk) !

Nope, lower the CS and hit your knees & away you go. Remember to keep the toes up!

This HT deal keeps getting better & better.

Sorry about your injury, hope you recover soon. Good to hear you can still find a way to glide. (while waiting for a SegSeat?)

Folks with longer legs might want to stack up two or three of those inexpensive "Office Depot" DIY mats on the platform first to avoid kneeling on the front lip.

Maybe some steel-toed boots for that toe-strike problem? (after the swelling on the ankle goes down)

Sir you are right on all counts !

SegSeat on order (order #8) and you must beef up the glide pad.

I realy did'nt consider the seat because as an incomplete para I was able to stand for a good amount of time. I was able to load and glide, no problem.

So, late last night I placed the order in case this should ever happen again. I don't know if I'll leave it on all the time are just mount as needed.

I'll give a review, right after William Collins (order #7) !!!
