Passengers in wheelchairs can’t use most airplane washrooms. That could change::With airplane bathrooms inaccessible to most people with disabilities, those who use wheelchairs have a necessary pre-flight routine: Dehydrate and hope for the best.
The United agreement was prompted by an incident in which a passenger died after her custom wheelchair was damaged during a cross-country flight.
Jesus, I already hated United for breaking my reinforced toolbox and fucking me over on four recent flights, but this takes the cake. I avoid them whenever possible now.
I looked into it, and apparently she spent months fighting with them to replace her wheelchair. In the meantime, she developed sores from being in a generic wheelchair, and she ended up needing two emergency surgeries, and either passed away due to complications, or due to the sores directly.
What the fuck…

I just wonder how the hell this connects back to a fucking bathroom. How’s the wheelchair breaking lead to a someones death?

As a tall fatass, I’m glad. While the benefit is obvious and necessary for people who need it, I’l happily ride their coattails and enjoy the bathroom I can both stand up and turn around in.
Wheelchairs can’t be used on planes either so it makes sense that the airplane bathrooms aren’t wheelchair accessible. As a 6’3" man, I also cannot use airplane bathrooms as they were designed for 90lb 5’1" individuals.
Mate, I’m 189cm (6’2.4) and manage perfectly well in a 737 bathroom whichever function I need to perform, so I’m not sure what the issue is. Your girth maybe?
I’m not girthy just unable to stand up in an airplane bathroom without hunching over to fit the curve of the fuselage.
