Love the stories guys, but what I want to know is during these tricks how you kept your pants from falling off? Not had much in the way of "hairy" transfers. With reference to pants though, soon after my accident, I was getting out of a taxi at one of our larger shopping centres and couldn't work out why I was having so much trouble getting into the chair. I was still pretty new to the whole thing. I lifted and pulled and really wasn't getting anywhere. So I thought, "give one big heave". Seems my pants had gotten caught on a high mounted break lever and that big effort saw me partially standing for a moment, almost in the chair, groin above door level, and my pants down around my knees. Had to get the cabbie to quickly unhook them and pull them up. Needless to say the old ladies in the queue for taxis found the whole thing interesting/amusing. I'm glad no Japanese tourists were there. I had images of a policemen directing them away saying "move on, move on, nothing to see here".

Threesomes are overrated. Not when you're part of it. LOL

Its not a transfer but a sticky situation... not a transfer either but .... Again it was a short time after my injury and I'd bought a ticket to see the Harlem Globetrotters from a guy who couldn't go. Anyone old enough and from around here might recall the old Festival Hall in Brisbane. Anyway it had been a bit showery all evening and when I came out after the show it was raining lightly. I headed across the street to go find a taxi back to the rehab place. On the other side I went between two parked cars with just enough space, so I could get up the gutter on to the footpath. I had the front wheels up and was pushing the back wheels up over the edge (old gutters - few cutouts). It was slippery and the chair started to slide back. For some reason I leaned back a little and the chair just tipped over backward between the parked cars with me still sitting in it. Well laying in it now and looking straight up into a rainy sky. It struck as quite amusing as I was stuck. Couldn't tip it forward. Couldn't roll out to either side. So I just laughed. People just walked past me which for some reason made me laugh more. Finally some guy jogging past to get to his car, tipped me back up and onto the footpath and I was on my way with a slightly sore head and rather wet.
