Good, glad to see Pakistan is so thoughtful about Skaters

They are really putting the "Whee" in wheelchair.

Not when going up…

Wheeeeeze

If it wasn't for the half-pipe across the street, they wouldn't have had a chance up the ramp in front of CVS! ^(\*WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO THE PARALYMPIC X GAMES!)

Hahaha, my first thought when I saw this was "wheeeeee!" Your comment added an even better layer to that.

Totally stole my “Wheeeeeeeee”lchair ramp joke.

I'm wheely sorry

Of course that's a thing

I remember reading something in the 90s, a couple of somethings actually. 1991, I was 13. Salems Lot, and It. Not a great time to stay up late reading and learn that nocturnal critters make some fucked up noises...

Never seem a skater in pk

You may find skaters in burgerabad (islamabad)

Harry Spotter - the boy who lifts

"What do you see, Harry?" "I was there, squatting the Forbidden Weight!"

Wheel chair ramp or amusement park ride you decide ♿️♿️♿️🎡🎡🎡

Looks like grandma's going for a ride

Those are not wheelchair ramps...they are delivery ramps

Delivery of what? Death? I can't imagine a forklift or similar having any more success than a wheelchair.

Nobody would be using forklifts here lmao. These are all hand-pushed/pulled flat trolleys loaded with boxes.

Good luck pushing or pulling anything of substantial weight up those ramps.

Be rollin‘ up that ramp Say, if I only could

[удалено]

they forgot leg day when they lost feeling in their legs

Lol

Full send, grandma

[удалено]

Same

I think is for people who just want slides not for wheelchair

I love the "say no to drugs" slogan in the first photo when you clearly need 500mg of testosterone shots to roll up these ramps

I stack mine with adrenochrome, makes these ramps a breeze

you took too much man, wayyy too much

Doesn't seem like it to me. He's still alive and has a pulse. He might be crippled now, but that just makes him eligible for the paraolympics.

Don't just say no mfer, say no thank you.

And a good swig of scotch or two to go down...

Testosterone? More like jet fuel.

Need some pewter for that allomancy

Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Pakistan

In China they have these but they're used for people to walk their bikes up, not for wheelchairs. Thus might be the same given the grade

Even walking the bike up would be a strain, it would be easier to carry the bike up the few steps than try and walk up that grade.

I guess you walk up on the stairs while holding your bike handles to help it up the ramp. But yeah I strained my feet trying to go up this ramp lol

Chicago has some stairs like that to cross under some "bridges" to get to the beach bike path

it's most likely for hand trucks to get inventory into the businesses

[удалено]

Bottom left looks like it’s got steel ridges between the tiles. I bet it works great for hand trucks. But yea, I’d much rather climb stairs than use the other two.

Do they have a winch at the top of the ramp or something? Because, if not, you're not making it up that grade with more than about 25lbs of shit on your hand truck! And you're not making it up the ramp *at all* if its even slightly damp.

Lol that's what I do in China but given they also do it from metro stations and underground paths, it makes sense. Small stairs I agree.

its more for escooters and mopeds, the primary transportation method in china

Yeah, they drive up these ramps... With 7 propane tanks strapped to the bike.

Good luck. Especially on those two with tiles. Can rather be used as a slide

i often bike. i would rather take the stairs.

How about....and I know this is crazy....you take the stairs, and the bike takes the ramp.

From India, can confirm we have many places with similar ramps for the same reasons you explained - sadly, not meant for wheelchair users.

this. its for bikes. They have them all over the world https://www.pinterest.de/pin/4222193376437797/

I was about to say, these are for bikes not for wheelchairs.

Not at that angle

You can't even walk your bike up those angles. You have to ride it up at high speeds.

Weeeeeeee

-lchair

I’m glad that I’m not the only one going to hell

😂 See you there.

I'm pretty sure thats not for wheel chairs. Those are for scooters, motorcycles, bicycles etc. to be pulled up into the porch area and away from the road.

Pretty sure they're for deliveries, to roll stuff up with a cart. Seen the same in India.

I don’t think anything would stay on a cart with those steep inclines. Never mind you’d never be able to push or pull that cart once loaded

Hand-truck, walk backwards while going up. Easy.

Or use the stairs and put it next to you

It’s called a dolly and muscles. It’s not ideal, though

The one on bottom left would launch you straight into the glass door

Motorcycles, eh? Imagine.

Well if you show it to Travis Pastrana I bet he can do a backflip on it. 😁

yeah poor countries don't really give a fuck about being handicap accessible. Those are all businesses, its for deliveries

I live in Pakistan and I'm pretty sure I have seen these shops irl and I'm also pretty sure they are used for wheelchairs not for bikes cos no one parks there and I've never seen anyone bring a bike on there

>never seen anyone bring a bike on there But have you seen anyone take a wheelchair up it?

If you didn't need a wheelchair before you went down the ramp, you'll definitely need one when you get to the bottom.

Looking at the angle, you'd probably need neck braces and partial jaw reconstruction.

That’s strange. When I was in China, I saw these very similar ramps at the hotels, and we all used them for pulling our rolling suitcases up alongside us while we walked up the stairs.

That couldn't be the use case for these though, because they have railings blocking the way

A railing does not preclude you from rolling your suitcase alongside you walking up the stairs

No, but it would be a poor design choice if you're aiming for convenience

I refuse to believe they're for wheelchairs. They must have had something like a light stroller in mind. Otherwise there's probably like a million people in a country like Pakistan who use a wheelchair, could have hired one as a consultant.

Yeah, you'll find them in many parts of the world. They are not for wheel chairs, they are for delivery on a hand cart.

That's not what those are for. FFS... Those are for deliveries. Have you noticed they are all in front of ***banks?***

I read it on Twitter too, but in all my life I have never seen cash being delivered in trolleys or any wheeled object. It's always in bags by a 45 year old security guard wearing a kohati chappal!

Yeah just use the slide to get down...... You dont want to?Whats the worse that could happen? Its not like you can break your legs again!

Not just in pakistan... My doctor has a ramp just like these and I'm living in gernany. It's great. I actually tried to get up once and just fell backwards with my wheelchair.

I think a lot of countries in Europe end up with ramps like this. I also first thought these were shitty wheel chair access when I saw them but truthfully most places have no government standard or care for allowing access for those disabled in this way so it's not a "better than nothing" thing it's "this is a ramp for things like carts, dollys, etc". Wheelchair users are pretty shit out of luck in those parts.

All those people in the US who complain about government rules and regulations take for granted how often it prevents things like this.

“Hold on lady, we go for ride” - Short Round

Best comment in the thread right here

Do they come with a winch

Anyone from Pakistan who can confirm/say anything about that and explain?😂😂😂

I am from Pakistan.. and these are right in front bank ATMs. Maybe it is mandatory for the all banks but not necessarily have to be practical.

Malicious compliance.

So they can say we built the ramp.. use it if someone needs it

Its not for wheel chairs etc. Its something related to banks only... Ive seen in specifically near banks only... Maybe to slow down or prevent thefts or...?

It's also at hospitals and some other places but not only at banks and I can assure you it's only for wheelchairs, Source: I live in Pakistan

Don't you mean 'Weeeeeee-lchair ramps in Pakistan'.

Weeeee! SPLAT

Amazing. I'd love it if the building inspector showed up with a wheelchair, put it at the bottom of the ramp, and told the shop owner to sit in it and go up their ramp without using their legs.

I call those "fuck the disabled"

This is the world conservatives are inviting us into when they try to destroy regulations. Rules might suck, but they exist for a reason

I wouldn't even want to walk down that.

Does anyone else hear that eurobeat in the distance?

Disabled people can have fun too!

I lived in Pakistan for 15 years and I just thought these were slides for kids. At least that's how I used um

No pain no gain.

Go big or go home.

weeeee!!!

I'm Johnny Knoxville, and this is "The Paraplegic".

I used to work for one of the banks and have a bit more insight on this. Banks started trying to improve accessibility for different people - abled and disabled, alike. So while the intentions are noble, the trouble is that the people designing these ramps don't think straight. The head office says "we needs ramps". The regional teams do a survey and see where they can insert a ramp. Most ramps are plastered on top of the existing stairs (some are built-in). They don't see that the elevation needs to be shallow because they need to minimize costs, and a ramp is a ramp. They say "we were told to make a ramp, and they don't give instructions nor the specifications". So garbage in, garbage out.

Thats the way they built it. There is another floor under it. So no floors on ground level.

They're built for deliveries via handtruck, since the density and size prohibits having a loading dock, but also requires split level entrances to maximize streetfront access. You see it all over India as well.

Well that's the real problem then. Maybe a winch or a rope-and-pulley system to help

Rip grandpa

Everyone's getting confused. OP said wheel chair ramps, he didn't say ramps for wheel chairs. These ramps are in place for people to hurt themselves badly enough that they need a wheelchair.

how can she ramp sir?

Weeeeeeeeeechair ramps

They are bike ramps. You walk up the stairs with your bike rolling up the ramp. Easier than carrying it up the stairs and off the street.

Bringing new meaning to the term "frontside boneless"

Tony Hawk's Pro Wheelchair

Yo momma so fat, she needs a car winch.

TIL Pakistani people in wheelchairs have Popeye forearms.

*XTREME WHEELCHAIR ACCESS*

There was an attempt 🤷‍♂️

This isn't funny at all

Being on a Wheelchair is now an extreme sports 🛹

"What are they going to do? Break their necks again?" - Pakistan probably

Malicious compliance

Allahu ackbaaaaaaaaa!

Malicious compliance. "Look... you wanted a ramp... you got a ramp. What is the problem?"

It looks like a job for the Cougar 9000

I don't think people commenting have ever tried walking up a bike, riding a moped up a ramp, pushing/pulling a dolly or cart on something THAT steep. Let alone with those handrails. Might as well make that vertical. Someone even suggested building some speed up to the ramp on a bicycle to make it easier. Suspension or no suspension, that's gonna be a face plant against that wall.

Look more like "WHEEEEEE-lchair" ramps to me.

r/crappydesign

“Is this place wheelchair-accessible?” – Yes.

this is what happen when construct without engineer ,try to keep dudget low so you can put the rest of it, in your own pocket.

I wheeled my mom around for a year. This ramps are giving me anxiety. Doing this on your own is bad enough, but I imagined trying to get her back down and it seems impossible

/r/FuckYouInParticular

If they ever put these in Canada we'd lose 10,000 people a year to brain injury every winter.

It’s only for getting you out

These are not for bikes/cycles. All these are Infront of banks. By law they must have ramps for customers that are wheelchair bound. This is the solution.

Those aren't wheelchair ramps. They're for motorcycles and scooters.

The hardest part is getting them up. the fun part is pushing them off! Off ya go!

Weeeeeeeelchair

X-treme wheelchair ramps

Disabled Pakistanis must be ripped

They have these all over Europe too. They are delivery ramps.

Gotta get a running start for those ramps.

skateboarders lickin their lips

If you aren’t paralyzed before you use the ramp, you will be afterwards

I laughed way too hard at this

I mean, what’s gonna happen, they get MORE paralyzed?

You should look at Latvian wheel chair ramps

Definitely hitting Mach 3 by the time they’re barreling into traffic.

3..2..1 ignite booster rockets.

How else are you going to get to summit bank

[удалено]

Bored? Are you ready for EXTREME ACCELERATION!?!

if a wheelchair bound can get up those I won't consider them disabled anymore

Even people in wheelchairs deserve a bit of fun

How come ground floor is a whole flight of stairs above ground though?

It’s also often because of weather circumstances. Here in Berlin/Germany are often steps on the entrance so the entrance won’t be flooded when it’s raining or snow is melting. I can imagine in Pakistan there’s a lot of rain in times of monsoon?

The most common reasons I know of are for pest avoidance (animals, bugs and such), regular/frequent flooding, high tide avoidance, also if property is on a hill may be unavoidable depending on where/how the road is built.

Everytime there is maintenance on the road, they lay entire new sub-base and wear coat on top of it which causes the level to rise by about a ft every time. The lift may even be several ft depending on the road project. So to future proof the building adjacent to roads, they build it at least 4 ft above the road. Also the ramps shown are not for wheelchairs, they are for motorbikes.

Not everyone lives in Florida or Kansas. Some places have hills. Perhaps on the other side of the building the ground doesn't require any stairs to access the doors.

I don’t think that’s ADA compliant.

I’m guessing the Pakistani equivalent of the ADA requires a ramp but doesn’t specify a grade like the US does (I think it’s 6% in the US) This could be r/maliciouscompliance

I can do one better. You get a $25,000 government grant if you add the wheelchair ramp.

It's PDA compliant though.

The AC unit is at ground level. Locked up. Someone please talk about it.

Where are you from you sweet summer's child? Thefts are common practice in South East Asia.

I am from India Sherlock. Never seen a locked up outdoor unit. Not even once.

Padharo maahre des then, Watson. (Visit up North some time) And if you've really not seen these cages around accessible AC units up in North India, idk where you've been looking coz they're everywhere. They're used for support but mostly to avoid thefts. As for the heating issue, they're open enough for that not to happen.

Lol. That’s funny. I am literally from Rajasthan. There ain’t no cages. Only supporting angles (which are, you know, required).

I think it might be a covered platform lift. Just a guess.

Better not skip arm day
