I'm guessing it was an insurance issue or such for the airline, but it just shows you, he seems to have got them to review their policy...

Re: Paralympian Crawls After Wheelchair Row

Reading the article it sounds more like it was a convenience issue for the airline. Their wheelchairs are designed to be more manoeuvrable on the plane.
I would have thought that provided the guys wheelchair met the Australian equivalent of the British Standard kite mark or whatever there really shouldn't be any insurance issue.

No I meant in terms of staff pushing him around in their wheelchair, taking responsibility for him etc.
