This thread is about a wheelchair that is run into by a robot and jumped over by people and and a cane that is knocked out from under the person using it. The safety glasses volunteer discussion belongs in the other thread. If you have suggestions about paying positions in place of volunteers, please put those suggestions in that thread, too.
