Hi I was wondering how people get on with the Stryker chair 6252 stair-pro tracked?
As an emt I have used these chairs for around 10 years. Back in 2016 I was using the Stryker chair with a, estimated 16-18 stone, Patient when the chair went over the 1st stair fine, then just took off getting faster and faster.
I was foot end operator and because the chair was running down the stairs at an alarming rate, was having to run down the stairs backwards and as I couldn't keep up, My left ankle went over followed by my right ankle!!
I ended up falling down the rest of the stairs backwards. I was left with a compound tri-malleolus fracture with dislocation.
My left ankle was badly sprained Also.
So, like I say, has anyone else found that these chairs are "run away" and "lethal"??
Your opinions and experiences would be good to hear. Thanks in advance.
