irly quickly after both of the small front wheels of the WC began to flail and wiggle violently and before I could even grab the larger rear wheels and try to brake with my feet as well I was completely ejected forward from the chair.
Sounds like your WC needs a Front End Alignment!
Glad you're OK. Stuff like you describe can end up with broken collar bones or worse. Bad skin rash would be the least of your problems.

I was about to ask the same thing, given that some shopping carts (otherwise known as "carts" on the Vinyl Asylum) display this wobble, and some don't. It turns out the condition is called "caster flutter", and there's fixes for it. (link below)
E, I'm glad you're OK, but I'd be looking into preventing it from happening again, because if and when I find myself in a chair, I'm going to want to haul ass too.
Stay safe.
Thanks for that. I enjoyed rolling at speed. Already been thinking I cant drive an auto w/o hand control for the gas pedal but I could ride.....

Damn right, you can! I know a Hell's Angel with a missing left arm (lopped off at the shoulder), who still rides his Harley by using a centrifugal type clutch. So I don't see any reason you can't ride a Beemer with a bum right leg.
"I can" works a lot better for me than "I can't". I just have to remember to remember that, since the latter is the easier, softer way, but there's no payoff.
You're welcome. Now bust out those wrenches and get that chair flying straight!
BMW has models with linked brakes whereby you use the front brake and it auto applies rear brake.The issue for me is breaking and balance with no feeling from above the ankle down through the foot on the right side.

No, really, and figured it would be an excellent choice for your situation.
When you've stopped, keeping slightly more weight on the left leg would seem to work. The right leg, once it's strong enough, should serve as a pretty good portion of the tripod, even if you can't feel it in your foot, no?
The real intent of my motivational speech, even though I'm living in a van down by the river, is for you to dream big, and have goals you can attain.
As always, wishing you the best of luck.
