@polingwithcp: Please stop throwing wheelchairs. One of the reasons I have a custom wheelchair is because regular wheelchairs cause very severe symptoms so an airport wheelchair is not an option. I get nervous sitting anywhere other than my wheelchair because of my body's sensitivities. There is no way you can accidentally cause this kind of damage. This is the result of negligence by staff with medical devices. #disabled #wheelchair #airport #damage Alt Text: A young black woman with curly hair is in an airport showing the damage to her left brake of her orange wheelchair.

Make sure to file a complaint before leaving the airport. So sorry this happened! It's so frustrating how they treat our chairs.

I seriously don’t understand why planes don’t have secure compartments for wheelchairs.

No cus since becoming a ramper just finding a wheelchair in the cargo bin stresses me out so much. They're legit just placed with the luggage that gets thrown back and foward and i dont understand how planes are not equipped with compartments JUST for devices like these

It is insane that you can’t board a plane in your chair. We do it on buses and trains. Shameful of the industry.

This is why I bought a bag big enough to fit my son’s wheelchair and I wrap towels around the brake area. Too many times things were broken. It takes longer getting on or off the plane but nothing gets broken 🙏

This freaks me out. Getting my evaluation this week and I cannot imagine what I’d do. I wonder if anyone has tried those big sound equipment cases with custom padding. It would probably be a million dollars

I'm glad it's just the brake but still it should never have happened, nor should you have to take the extenders off when handing your chair over to be put under and the hope the extenders don't disappear

It’s actually disgusting how many videos I’ve seen on this subject in the last maybe few weeks! That this is a reality for disabled individuals like myself. I currently don’t have the mobility aids that are appropriate for my needs and although I have at least some understanding on the barriers that can come with using a wheelchair, I also see the freedom and the positive behind having one and that is what I look forward to. When that time comes, if this were ever to happen to me, I would be devastated. How is their acceptance or awareness, when we have to second guess where we go and our travels due to accessibility issues, which just seems to widen the gap to close, for the opportunity to live as closely to how able bodied individuals do. In a realistic way of course. And accessibility issues make it less possible without real change. 🥹 I’m so sorry 🥹

File a complaint and hopefully you had holiday insurance that covered your wheelchair.

That’s so upsetting! I’m so sorry to hear that. I have siblings who need wheelchairs and I know how long it can take to get repairs/ a new chair. Definitely file a complaint!
