The image conveys precisely that effort: one person holding the weight while the other clings on to maintain balance.
FINALLY THEY REACHED THE WATER
The main photograph shows the two women in the sea, surrounded by the foam of the waves.
One holds the other firmly around her body while both remain standing.
The young woman who initially appeared in the chair looks excited as a wave reaches them.
It is a moment that explains why the sequence began to generate so many reactions: what for some may seem like a simple swim at the beach can represent an extraordinary experience for another person.
A WAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED THE MOMENT.
As they entered the water, the waves began to gently lap at their legs. The companion kept her arms around the young woman to help her maintain her balance.
The reaction captured by the camera shows a mixture of surprise and excitement.
Water can partially reduce the load on the body thanks to buoyancy, but that does not mean that a person with mobility difficulties can remain in the sea without the corresponding safety measures.
THE SEA CAN ALSO POSE A RISK
. Waves are unpredictable. Even when they seem small, they can generate enough force to cause you to lose your balance.
Therefore, when a person with reduced mobility enters the water, factors such as currents, depth, waves and individual ability to remain stable must be considered.
Continuous supervision is especially important.
IS IT SAFE TO LIFT A PERSON FROM A WHEELCHAIR?
It depends on each case. Mobility needs can be completely different from one person to another.
