Do you think these sports should be included in the Paralympic Games?
If we truly want people of all sorts of disability to participate in sport - then we should add more categories to different sports?
Such as.....
- Electric Wheelchair synchronised swimming
- Electric Wheelchair spring board diving
- Wheelchair ski jump (Winter Paralympic games)
- Blind ski jump (Winter Paralympic games)
- wheelchair steeple chase

Additional comment: Before all you politically correct, ultra sensitive and easily-offended trolls get on your high horses, I work in disability and have many friends who have severe disability and are wheelchair users. We had a good laugh over discussion like this.
There is a BIG difference between making fun of people with disability and having a laugh ABOUT disability.
jobees - fyi,
blind basketball actually exists! Amputees DO go in track events with atificial limbs, so the "hopping" is rather redundant.
Electric wheelchair "murder ball" does exist. My friends play in it. It is actually electric wheelchair rugby league. Full contact sport too! (want more info? - email me) But thanks for some ideas.

Electric wheelchairs and water — seems like a bad mix to me, but hey – what do I know.

For your not politically correct non sensitvie loves to offend others thinks himself higher and better than others…. This may be taken as a joke face to face in CERTAIN situations, however as an fyi… in this format you seem as though you are being an arse hole

Absolutely not.
In 40% of the events aforementioned, their wheelchairs would malfunction indefinitely.
