Should we add these sports to the Paralympic Games?
- Electric Wheelchair synchronised swimming
- Electric Wheelchair spring board diving
- Wheelchair ski jump (Winter Paralympic games)
- Blind ski jump (Winter Paralympic games)
- wheelchair steeple chase
- wheelchair hurdles
- Blind (or vitually impaired) skeet shooting
- Wheelchair madisons (like incycling - the one you give your team mate a push.)

And 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.
Sorry POPEYE, but your suggestion is NOT within the spirit of the joke. Being obese is NOT a criteria for a Paralympian

my avatar is missing 2 legs so I’ll answer:
- Electric Wheelchair synchronised swimming – NO – too rusty
- Electric Wheelchair spring board diving – sounds like an ejector seat in a jet – NO
- Wheelchair ski jump (Winter Paralympic games) – sign me up – this could be for able bodied too – no dafter thaqn bungy jumping – 1st round able bodied + disabled — theh onwards everyone would be disabled
- Blind ski jump (Winter Paralympic games) – take the guide dog too – bend your knees when its leash goes slack
- wheelchair steeple chase – sounds fun with ramps
- Blind (or vitually impaired) skeet shooting – Dick Cheney would win this one so NO

Sure, and for the quadraplegics, let’s add the good ole fashion pie eating contest.
