BS, we can and already have. here's a paraplegic person dropping in on one of the steepest in-bounds runs in the US.

quit being so dismissive.

- sterlind 7y agoNitpicking here, but many quadriplegics still have some use of their arms. Depending on the level of SCI and completeness they might not be able to use their pinkies or wrists but still use their arms for transfers or picking things up. There are actually accomplished quadriplegic pool players. They use a bridge and learn a grip that works. Disabled people are extremely adaptable out of necessity.
- fsloth 7y agoCool! My intent was not to be dismissive. I was not implying people with disabilities should stop doing things, rather, that it shouldn't stop a non-disabled person to do a thing just because a disabled person can't do the same thing.
