What is your craziest transfer of all time?

[Deleted]

Mine was a couple months ago. I came out of the store and here I was blocked in except on the passenger side...but my truck was to far from the curb and to close to get beside my truck.

Door open, one tire on the sidewalk, one in the AIR! I had one hand on the door and one on the neck rest. So I throw caution to the wind and alliooped (sp). The chair goes tumbling to the ground off the curb. My whole body dropped half a foot by the time sweet fear came to the rescue. If anyone saw me doing this they would have shit themselves. I he-maned myself up and over in to the seat. At one time it was just hands and dead weight.


let that stew lol.

The craziest transfer I ever witnessed was done on an ice filled parking lot in an empty shopping center in the dead of winter, where I thought wheelchair skating would be a fun pastime with my then boyfriend. Needless to say, we dumped over. You know how it is to get up on ice skates on wet ice? Well, we kept getting up and falling down and everytime his butt started to touch the chair it slid backwards, even with the brakes locked. Finally, I pulled him by his trousers all the way across the parking lot, to the car, then slid the chair over to same car. We hitched and hauled and fell into the front seats of the car. Then we went and had some hot chocolate and got under a nice warm electric blanket.

True story. Stupid idea.

[Ouch]

Heh...I have two:

1.) Similar to AB's story. except with quite more disasterous results. Two friends and myself went flying down a hill with slick ice and snow...wasn't too too bad until I hit a mound of snow that I wasn't expecting, only to be followed by more ice...unfortunately that hill happened to be his driveway (it's a private drive long and at a steep angle) and it happened that the driveway led into a major roadway. Well upon hitting the mound, I went forward and out...and the chair got some air (damn, that rhymed) and went over me and hit more ice and slid right into a busy section of traffic...two tractor-trailers and a pickup truck and an SUV were confirmed hits...damn, that was bad. I think with the newfound inspiration I managed to move quicker without the chair. Not really a transfer, except for transferring flat on my ass.

2.) My 'Matrix' Transfer...I had this video-taped at one point, if I can find it will have to share...it was actually a two person job of sorts...not sure how we managed to do it, but was during a wc basketball game. I shot a three as someone came up to cover me, and deliver impact. I ended up 'jumping' up (due to the force of the blow and the force of making the shot) and he fell falt forward, but I managed to grab the side of his chair (the backpost) and swing around almost a complete 180 degrees and ended up landing nearly perfectly in his chair and clearing him falling and not getting tangles in my chair...I recieved a standing ovation for that.

Actually, I know someone who did a pretty hardcore landing...not as much of a transfer...he climbed to the top of a climbing wall, and then loosened the harness and just leapt down and ended up in his seat...though he did end up somewhat injuring himself (he's the kinda' guy that could do Jackass for Wheelers)

i love this topic. keep the stories coming!

Like AB I have been the instigator of some potentially disatrous transfers, in this case involving my ex Rollerboy (a quad) and a bath tub. What could be more sexy and romatic than taking a bath together, right? But when it's time to get out, then it's trouble. We're both wet and slippery, and the bathroom was really cramped and awkward, we couldn't even get his chair near the edge. In trying to haul him to the edge of the tub I wrenched my knee--the pain was so sudden and intense I dropped him and fell to the floor myself, unable to stand. The potential humiliation of having to call 911 eventually inspired me to pull myself together and help him out of the damned tub but he still ended up having to drag his bare ass along a very long, narrow, and dusty hallway, cursing me all the way. And in spite of this, we repeated the tub stunt at least 2 or 3 more times in different locations, each time realizing too late that he might end up spending the rest of his days there. Beware of the bathtub that is not fully accessible.

Love the stories guys, but what I want to know is during these tricks how you kept your pants from falling off?

[Ouch]

I wasn't wearing any [pants].

[dolly]

still shaking my head at mellow attempting (and accomplishing!) his transfer with one tire in the air...

that's just nuts.



(was wondering about the pants, too, devogirl!)

I personally am one of those girls and devs who loves my time "on the couch" with a guy. Cuddling, watching (not) a movie, making out etc. My favorite transfer is to the couch and then from the couch to the floor (if sexy is going to be happening). But do you want to to know what is sexiest about this whole position of on the couch?

I won't tell you, but you can venture to take a guess. I bet the dev girls will get it right on the money. Oh, btw, usually when we go to the couch, we move the chair to another part of the room so that we all have more room.

I'm intrigued, what is the answer?? I couldn't think of anything other than the guy is pretty much yours to devour since he's not in his chair. But that's also true of a bed.

And to answer the topic question, would you believe me if I told you that mine involved a naked stripper and too many margaritas??!?!? (Well, perhaps she had a thong on, I forget.....)

Even I dont know the answer to this.

[Guest]

Yeah, I thought it was just me. I don't know the answer.

Although I have done some pretty creative things with the guy still in the chair....And had the bruises to prove it.

[BA]

Matisse was right. The chair is gone and you are all mine to devour!

[Deleted]

WRONG WRONG WRONG you got it backwards AB lol.

[Triassic]

So, Mellow...how did you get your chair aboard if it was tipped over-one assumes-several feet from the vehicle?
