Paraplegic man who dragged himself through terminal sues Luton Airport

Whilst I feel that in this case the pax should have just sucked it up and used what was available, I can certainly understand their desire not to. That said I also feel that suing is not the right thing to be doing either.

I think you raise a good point. As an able bodied person I take independence for granted. So I understand where he could be coming from.

But to take legal action? I think thats a bit off and smells of attention seeking.

This bloke is going to make a killing travelling the world suing any entity that doesn't have the "right" wheelchairs.

I wonder how he feels about the stories that appear from time to time about able but overfed, lazy Americans using a wheelchair to bypass security lines, and if he feels the same way about (Member for Bennelong) John Alexander's comments about 'too much pride' for a disabled car park permit?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Well it got a lot of publicity for disabilities.

Sure - perhaps I'm being a touch cynical, but I'm not sure that this comes under the heading of 'there is no such thing as bad publicity'..

Why not go after whoever left his wheelchair behind?
