2016, Portuguese Parliament. He was the first MP with motor disability on a wheelchair and works were done to allow him to get to the stage. This was the first time using the elevator. Job well done guys!

Anyone else a little put off by the absence of a suit/formal wardrobe? The guy looks like he's dressed for brunch at Denny's...

Maybe the fall fixed him

That's not quite what I was expecting. Glad I waited til the end

I mean, he should probably pay attention, his chair starts rolling forward, do they not have brakes? Anyway rofl
oldguyexlurker
I'm appalled noone actually tested it before subjecting that guy to that embarrassment and potential injury.
flipskibbens
Ah man, I laughed way too hard

Probably better to add a portable ramp and get a person to push them up and back down.

Ya but that doesn't look as cool or play the awesome music when used.

So much money, so much work, so much complication, just to be reminded of a far simpler solution

Hm, didn't have his brakes set.

If you've worked with government... that exactly what I was expecting. Don't ask how much it cost or how much it'll cost to fix...
tred1975
To be fair, he saw a penny
wamphyri13r
Which way is it to hell? That way? Thank you. I laughed. Not because he fell, but because of the effort that went into helping him fall.

Most parliaments don’t even bother

Time for another election?
LoPhatJoe
I don't think he's had an election in years.
MrStealUrMeme
It would have been epic if he just rose up beneath the floor into his spot in front of the mic

Unfortunately it remains a country where access for wheelchair users is near impossible. ?

Yes. It’s No Time For Caution
cartmanstitss
You would be correct. It is very recognizable music so not surprised there was a comment like this been in a bunch o memes too though
cartmanstitss
So I kinda thought like everyone knew this was definitely from interstellar. Good movie though

Hate to be that guy... but entirely his fault for not applying the brakes...
sirlapins
na the lift has a gap at top ,his front wheels drop in
onetinylife
...Because brakes were not applied...
sirlapins
when he adjust his position the chair does not move ,,brakes on.. he release the brakes to early
dangerrat
so if the brakes were released we would say the brakes were..
dangerrat
Correct, not on
onetinylife
Okay IF that's the case... still his fault. I am assuming whoever is controlling the lift stops it when they realize he is moving on it.
sirlapins
he is controlling by hand remote in right hand ,,,,,brake is on right
