Is there any need???
To be clear: this is not a jab at weight, what I’m baffled by is why tf would anyone in a wheelchair use a walking stick like that?
To be clear: I know why the dude has the cane, what im asking about/pointing out is the absurdity of the way he uses the cane in this specific clip, not speculation on the way he uses it in his general life. Just for those in the comments who mistakenly think I’m asking why the dude had the stick in the first place, when I’m asking about the way in which he uses it in this clip. Thank you.

I’m guessing they use the motorized wheelchair for traveling longer distances and the stick for walking into inaccessible areas or when it’s more convenient to do something while standing. As for how they’re using it, I’d guess it’s just a way to carry it with them in the chair since holding it horizontally on their lap might hit people that don’t see it, and it is easier to perform that motion than to hold it steady in some other, more awkward position.

Push door open buttons. And holding it on his lap would just have it run into people on the sides.
