30 Accessibility Designs That Are Straight Up Offensive

It's the best opening for an accessibility speech you can have. Strange that it is necessary to talk about it, it should be normal for anyone to enter a building.

He should have turned it around. Said, "I came with a prepared speech but I think this paints more than a thousand words as to why we need proper accessibility for all....."

if they had a ramp there, he wouldn't have a great example

No one wants to be carried up stairs in the first place but to be there to talk about accessibility and the venue isn't is inexcusable.

Disgraceful unless it was to make a point at the lack of accessibility.

Whee?

This has to be fake, right?? There's a rail at the top blocking the entrance and the accessible sign looks a little photoshoped to me

This needs a chain mechanism like roller coasters have that people in a wheelchair can hook onto for the upward attempt

this is a bike ramp, to walk your bike up the incline while you take the stairs, not a wheelchair anything..

Wheels from Nitro Circus would love this drop in, but for everyone else, please don't :-)

What’s worse, the ramp or the wall at the end of it to fly into?

I was at the airport one day and I saw a young woman pushing a very elderly man out of the terminal along the sidewalk. There was a ramp and all I could think up was running up the ramp and running down the other side. I turned around just as this quiet girl with the blank face was just hitting the top of the ramp and gripping the handles tighter and ran down the ramp, yelling whee and smiling like a 5 year old. Best moment ever at that airport.

Give it a few years and this event might make it to the Olympics.

Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! Owwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!

so what happens when someone starts at the top without knowing what is gonna happen at the bottom

Thanks, I only needed to get halfway across the road, anyway.

Wee-BUMP-Weeeeeee-CRASH!

Budget problems?

It's to slow them down, we all know how fast they go in their wheelchairs!! :P

😲

Ooops, there goes grandma

noice

the plant will be there to help you nat to smash the wall

They (the designers) didn't even try.

Pan Da-- at least there's a sense of humor here, but NOT for the disable. Still, glad you posted it!

In addition to it being stairs, even it out was a ramp it would be inaccessible because of how narrow it is. You couldn't squeeze a chair through that gap.

Who are these people that do this sort of thing?

almost like a mission to use the restroom (or whatever is behind that door)!

Wow

Having someone in a wheelchair is not going to help these poor clueless designers with handicapped brains. Let’s get some young tech minds like Peggy seriously involved here !!

I wonder how many times that has actually been used? I'm guessing...none.

They need to install a lift to allow accessibility to the lift to the door. X-)

I'm thinking this fits to a van door. . . if so, nice setup.

I first saw that the door might be an interference with lift frame. Then scrolled down to see the step off the base. What moron signed off on that project?

morons

Actually this one is a lift. The stairs will retract and there should be a lift beneath. I have something similar at my work place

Those are the special, magical stairs.
