Scuba Girl. In a Wheelchair for krist sake.
WTF?

'cause she can't stand up stupid.
Can she stand up smart? Punctuation matters...
But seriously, why the wheelchair in the water? Unless it was just a stunt for special attention, the only other reason would be if she had no mobility at all below her arms and needed to be strapped to the chair to prevent spinal injury.

But not capitalizing the "C" in the contracted first word of the sentence, that was OK?
Modified chair
She modified the heel plates so that they formed fins at the backs of her heels and redrilled the rubber straps to attach her legs to the acrylic "wings" she needed to steer the vehicle.
The addition of the second thruster and fin meant that the wings were no longer practical but she kept them for aesthetic reasons.
The wheelchair also required a more robust seat to handle the pressure placed upon it during a performance.
"I would love to create a version with hand controls - but I need my arms to be free for the performance," said Ms Austin.
The wheelchair, which has patents pending and is as yet unnamed, was already in demand, she said.

"We've had Padi [Professional Association of Diving Instructors] course directors and very experienced divers saying they would pay to hire it," she said.
"The Oceanography department at the University of Plymouth, where I did a BA [bachelor of arts degree] in fine arts, said it would make their courses accessible to students with disabilities."
There is one problem with the wheelchair however - the frame is beginning to rust. Ms Austin says that ideally the next model should be made of titanium.

I never saw it (thank God) but I heard a story a long time ago about a guy that got caped from his right shoulder all the way down to his fingertips on that side. I get serious cases of the heebie jeebies when rough turning round stainless bar stock. I stop the lathe frequently and carefully clear the bird's nests with needle nose pliers and sidecutters.

Lordamercy!! Where did you hide your sense of humor? Never mind my previous comments, they were lost in the noise, so to speak. Carry on.
So no consideration to how an alloy chair would be injurious, and possibly lethal, to any Megalodon which happened to feed on such an aquanaut, since a titanium chair might not break down in the shark's gut? I didn't know paraplegics were so selfish.

I actually can't think of a 'worse' way to BBQ... that would spin all the juices out of anything... It looks fun, but I bet it produces some really dry Yard Bird...

Shit all this time I though 1J04 was in the Navy.
