Sue Austin’s underwater wheelchair does blow minds – official!

screen shot of Sue Austin diving underwater in her underwater wheelchair.Sue Austin’s underwater wheelchair has made it onto one of VSauce’s popular ‘Mind Blows’ an online collection of scientific and unusual items. It’s it the collection here - about 3 minutes in. Trust me its worth watching all of it, if just to also see whale poop!

The reaction to Sue’s underwater chair has been astounding – with aquaria and arts organisations equally interested in featuring her work.

If you have time, why not watch Sue’s own capture of her work -

‘Creating the Spectacle!’ Online – Part 1 – Finding Freedom.

Its nearly 5 minutes and incredibly hypnotic. Fascinating to read through the comments too, but only do so if you have a strong stomach – remember its on YouTube so there are the usual collection of unpleasant ones in with those congratulating Sue on her wonderful work. Interesting to ponder on why disability brings out such comments from people – positive and negative.
