A Father’s Day outing took an unexpected turn at Powter How wood when a wheelchair user fell from his electric 4×4 wheelchair after hitting a rock on the trail. Fortunately, the man escaped the tumble completely uninjured, though the family was left with a bit of a Father’s Day mishap to look back on. Because the accompanying party were unable to lift him back into the chair, team members were called to the scene. Team members safely transferred him back into his chair, allowing the family to successfully continue on their way.
