A properly strapped in wheelchair won't budge a millimetre but there are risk takers out there and the above sounds like one of those
it may take 2 or 3 minutes to secure a wheelchair passenger properly but if you do so it is unlikely you would ever have a serious injury unless the vehicle was hit hard by another vehicle or even a tree/level crossing gate or market cross jumping out into the road at you whilst having a sneezing fit (20 winks) !
It wasn't the wheelchair that moved it was the passenger who was not wearing a seat belt in the chair.
you're right - but then again - putting a passenger in the crumple zone of a vehicle - the bit of the vehicle which id designed to crumple in the event of an accident does appear to be quite mad. Also, making alterations to the structural integrity of the vehicle - whereby the rear end is hacked away so a ramp can be fitted also appears quite mad.
And before we get around to the crash testing argument - the vehicles were apparently crash tested in their pre - hacked to pieces state.....something to do with low volume conversions not being liable for crash testing.
