RIP Sam. What an amazing legacy. As a full time powerchair user I can honesty say he designed the most outstanding chair in the world. My dream is that this chair can be available for adults as well.

I've seen hundreds of TED & TEDx talks. This is one of the greatest - Samuel made his peace with the world and set about making it better for all of us. Sadly less than 2 weeks after this talk was given he died whil in the middle of another adventure.
