To be clear: this is not a jab at weight, what I’m baffled by is why tf would anyone in a wheelchair use a walking stick like that?

To be clear: I know why the dude has the cane, what im asking about/pointing out is the absurdity of the way he uses the cane in this specific clip, not speculation on the way he uses it in his general life. Just for those in the comments who mistakenly think I’m asking why the dude had the stick in the first place, when I’m asking about the way in which he uses it in this clip. Thank you.

    Where do you suggest he carry his cane while he is in the wheel chair?

    Side to side so it takes out the kneecaps of everyone around him?

    Front to back so he can gut punch the ones in front or behind?

    Or maybe out to the side? Where it won’t hit anyone?

    Lets go further, if he holds it to the side, should he just hover it stiffly in the air while moving?

    Maybe the answer is this is the easiest way to hold the cane while moving without taking anyone out or forcing someone else to carry his stuff.

      Dude should get himself one of those Hurry Canes. I’m definitely getting a folding one when I get too old or injured to walk.

      It’ll match my folding bike!

      He could rest it on his lap maybe? Like slightly over his shoulder so it’s not in anyone’s way and he doesn’t have to use it. He could still knock someone the way he is holding it in the GIF. I think any way he has it, there’s some risk of knocking into something.
