So, wheelchairs are for wusses, eh? During these holidays, please take stock of wrong assumptions and never look at someone disabled the same way again. They need your respect, not your pity. By watching this high-flying video, you can see that fate can knock a kid off his or her legs, but it can’t remove the wind from their adrenaline, their courage or their imagination. Could Timmy Tim handle this? As my uncle would say, “You betcha!”

Gordon, had he been injured today instead of 1940, would’ve had these extreme sorts burying their eyes. Even so, the things he survived as a quadriplegic still astonish. He just wasn’t getting as much air as these pros. Happy Holidays everyone, and if you get a chance, please check out Wheeling the Deal: the Outrageous Legend of Gordon Zahler, Hollywood’s Flashiest Quadriplegic.
