30 Times People Tried Installing Wheelchair Ramps But Failed Miserably
Modern building regulations require newly-built buildings to be accessible to handicapped people - that means having wheelchair ramps. Some architects, however, see them as a nuisance and go out of their ways to do the bare minimum required to make buildings handicapped-friendly, resulting in some nonsensical and outright dangerous designs.
In many countries, modern building regulations require newly-built buildings to be accessible to handicapped people - that means having wheelchair ramps. Now, for us, it seems completely understandable. After all, how else would people in wheelchairs get into buildings? Some architects, however, see it as a nuisance and go out of their ways to do the bare minimum required to make buildings handicapped-friendly, resulting in some nonsensical and outright dangerous designs.
People online are sharing the most ridiculous accessibility designs they have come across and some of them are so carelessly designed, they're almost insulting. From ramps that end with steps to ones that are as steep as rollercoasters, check out the worst cases of architects not caring about handicap access in the gallery below!
