I have used it for one fall when I was transferring from the shower bench to my wheelchair. Once I got it set up, it lifted me and I was able to slide over to my wheelchair seat.
I also used it when I got an electrical cord tangled up in the wheels of my powered wheelchair. I used it to lower myself to the floor so I would untangle the cord. Then lift myself back up to get back into the wheelchair.
I am rigging up a suitcase dolly to be able to easily move it around the house to where I will be doing something where I need to get down to floor level.
What is interesting is that this device was developed for a totally different purpose. So a handicapped person can get in and out of a bathtub. Hence it is waterproof. I have not taken a bath for years as I have been unable to get out of the tub. The side boards fold upwards nicely and it can lower a person into a tub, then after, bring them up level again with the rim for exit.
While I have been living only taking showers, that there is a dual purpose would help sell more if mentioned in the description,
While it is a little pricey I am glad I purchased it.
Just a warning that this product is largely plastic in construction and while it seems sturdy enough I doubt that it will not take bush abuse. Use it within limits and carefully, Do just fall onto it, slamming your weight onto it suddenly.
