You just don’t get it. If you want to see how passionate paraplegics are about their independence go and visit one of the many charities that look after their interests. Mr Fearnely hasn’t got to where he is by just sitting back and accepting he is a paraplegic and will never walk again. He has fought for his independence and obviously excels at it. His achievements speak for themselves. If you can’t see how humiliating it is for someone like him to have that independence taken away from them then you are ignorant to their plight. The embarrassment he may have caused himself by crawling through the terminal is nothing to the humiliation of loosing his independence.
