Abstract: A wheelchair with a platform for transporting a standing rider in addition to a rider sitting in the wheelchair. The wheelchair is self-propelled by a motor coupled to drive one or more ground/surface contacting wheels. The platform on which the additional person stands is attached to the chair frame preferably with pivot-allowing structuring at one edge of the platform and at the back end of the wheelchair. The platform is selectably positionable in a first position and second position. The first position being one which the platform is horizontally disposed for being stood on by a rider, and the second position being one wherein the platform is on edge, or pivoted approximately 90 degrees upward to a stored position more closely adjacent the wheelchair. The platform includes two small diameter 360 degree swivel casters or wheels which contact the ground for supporting the distal end of the platform when stood on by a rider.

Abstract: A seat affixed to an extra wide ski for use primarily by paraplegics for the sport of water skiing. The seat is comprised of a tubular framework with a fabric sling-type seat which supports the rider in a forward angled seated position with the knees drawn up towards the chest. Padded front and side rails prevent forward and lateral movement of the rider's buttocks. Frictional fit of the rider's buttocks between the padded side rails and placement of the knees and legs over the front rail secure the rider in position without the use of belts or straps. The tubular framework is affixed to a base which is connected to the central top surface of the sky by bolts. Foot bindings are affixed to the forward top surface of the ski to removably retain the rider's feet.
