Christopher reeve’s was wonderful. Since he fell off his horse he had alot of struggle. He was a great advocate for peop-le with disabilities. Dont bash him. You should be ashamed of yourelf. You’ll have to answer to god in the end I know where your going and it’s not heaven. People don’t go to heaven making fun of people with disabilities.
Good god people like you really have too much time on their
hands. It has always boggled my mind how people think they
have the right to tell other people what particular afterlife that
person is destined to travel to. You just piss everyone else off
and make yourself look like a know-it-all religious zealot. Get
a job.
Culture fail: You folks don’t get out much if you don’t know about (horse) driving for the disabled. Sensitivity fail: Nice ablism, folks. Stay classy.
Shouldn’t think you’d need a special sign for it! The regular horse and buggy should be enough. I mean… why do you need to watch out for the guy in the cart, if you’re going to miss the HORSE crossing the road!?
It’s to prepare you for the peculiar sight you may experience for the next 150 yards. You may or may not see a man in a wheelchair wearing a beard, all black clothes and a hat in the back of a cart being pulled by a horse with no driver. If you aren’t prepared you could 1. hit the horse out of distraction or 2. run off the side of the road and find yourself dressed all in black with a beard and a hat in a wheelchair in the back of a cart being pulled by a horse for 150 yards. It’s the Amish version of PSA’s really.
Yes, but doesn’t everyone yield to persons in wheelchairs riding inside eyeball-wheeled carts that are coming out of a horse’s anus as it trots (for 150 yards)?
after 150 yards you can take that thing down, the person inside is not using a rein to control it. he is just doing it for the fun of it, not really going somewhere.
I have been paid for that experience and it didnt live up to the hype. I had to give a refund and a coupon for the All You Can Eat buffet down the street. Muscle Control fail
Seems to me, you need a better form of transformation. You clearly haven’t transformed your use of the English language into a proper, working form yet.
Well, there are actually several good reasons to do it. Many people who use wheelchairs ride horses or carts without their chairs; but there are people with specialized chairs that do things like keep them in the right posture; and of course there are the people with some kind of assisted breathing, who’d have to lug the whole cpap or ventilator machine around, which is totally annoying. So you do like you do in a bus, and just clamp the wheelchair down in the buggy without getting out of it.
Woohoo! Yet another sign I saw while on vacation through Scotland. I saw several of these along a particular stretch of road, but I can’t recall where exactly. We had to stop and get a picture of the sign as well.
You saw it just after Loch Ness as you were coming into Invermorrison. It’s a sign to warn drivers, on a steep road with lots of blind corners, that there’s a riding center specifically for people with disabilities which, on some cases, means the wheelchairs are towed on carts.
I gotta be honest… I’m not sure how this sign is a Fail or confusing in any way.
And no, it’s also not fake in any way shape or form.
Ah. This sign is for a disabled persons riding center (apparently this is a very good therapy for some conditions) for Borlum farm, near Uquart castle, on Loch Ness, in Scotland.
“The road ahead is not in good enough condition for your to roll your wheelchair on, so clearly the only logical choice is for a horse to haul your disabled ass for 150 yards.”
…This is that country’s answer to the handicapped-accessible public bus?
Well the red triangle means it’s a warning so if anything it would mean ‘warning: disabled people being towed by horses for the next 150 yards’.
I really don’t get it.
You clearly don’t live in my area. About 1 in 100 people you see out and about is disabled in some obvious way, and that’s just counting the visible ones. But then, we have a lot of older people, and there’s a college nearby that’s kind of famous for being actually wheelchair accessible (as opposed to “we might have a handicapped restroom stall for you, but good luck turning the tight corners in the tiny little 1920s era buildings”, which is what you get at most colleges).
Everybody should contact their local state office to complain about how they only let handicapped people ride a horse for the short duration of 150 ft. That’s just barbaric!!!
This message is to stryder: Your message also is appalling. Children struggle so much and your comment: If it’s a child in the wheelchair, they’ll be ok as long as they stay out of Virginia.
This message is heartless and unforgiving. Children with disabilities have a right to go wherever they dam please. Another person (Leon) wrote: Clearly the only logical choice is for a horse to haul your disabled ass for 150 yards.”
My resonse which also applies to you but with your children comment: This was a very heartless comment. You should be in their shoes for awhile. You should have a disability for awhile just to see how it is. Oh wait you do have some sort of a disibility: stupidity!!!!
My mom died 2 years ago only at the age of 59. She had massive strokes which made her not be able to walk or see anymore. I lost 3 other family members to Cancer And I have Tourette Syndrome which I have struggled with since I was 7. So the next time you want to bash people with disibilities look in the mirror at your sorry ass.
You’ll be judged in the end. I will say a prayer that god forgives I just hope when I go to heaven I wont see you there becaue you’ll be in a placethat is scorchinly hot. I will be going to heaven because I help people not make fun of them.
Really think about what your doing. People with disabilitiess dont ask for it they are stuck with it. My mom struggled so much just to live. I miss her so much and your comment just made it all come back. Thanks a lot for your heartless comment it gave me the vision of my mom again dead in the er with her eyes open because the hospital forgot to close them and now I will have that vision in my head forever. You owe everybody you see with a disability and for that matter everyone an apology for being a very heartless uncaring person.
Do some volunteer work in a facility for children with down syndrome, a hospital burn unit and a unit for people dying of Cancer because then hopefully that will change your attitude for the better.
Teresa, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been through such an awful time, but before ou post something like this, stop and look at what you’re reacting to.
First of all, Neon’s comment about “haul[ing] your disabled ass” is sarcasm used with humorous intent; it may not have been to your taste, but it was obviously not an attack on disabled people.
I’m not sufficiently well versed in events that would have inspired a comment such as Stryder’s above, so I’m not going to comment further on that.
However, you need to take a step back and if this website causes you such anguish, perhaps it isn’t for you. It’s incredibly judgemental for you to throw around the accusations you’re throwing. And as for going to Heaven, if you believe in such things then you already know the only one who can make that decision is God, so stop a) making assumptions and b) judging people.
It is obviously just a sign warning that you might encounter disabled horse riders at some point in the next 15 yards. Presumably it’s a ‘Riding For The Disabled’ centre and they have to cross the road or use it for a bit.
IMHO, the reason it’s a fail is that unless you already know what it means, you have no idea what it means. If you already know what it means, you are familiar already with the concept of disabled horse riders and you might even know they are likely to be in that particular place. But if you’re not familiar with the concept of disabled horse riders, this sign makes no sense at all. What do you watch for? You’ll be so busy scratching your head and wondering what the heck that sign means that you might get distracted and run over one of the said disabled horse riders.
Well, probably not literally, ha. But the sign really tells you nothing. And it’s the people who don’t expect there to be disabled horse riders that really need to be told some might be in the area the most. But they are the ones who can’t get anything out of the sign.
So maybe it’s simply a “clarity fail” or a “sign design fail”, but IMHO it’s definitly a fail when the people who need to understand something can’t because of poor design of the thing.
Maybe the fail is really for the “yds” yards, posted by someone too accustomed to metric to remember what yards are? (Canadian, born before the changeover, lived too close to the States to get used to metric. Still use mostly Imperial. I even have my weather app set for Fahrenheit because I grasp the meaning of the numbers better.)
First Win?
Good job.
My first first, I feel so geeky for feeling so winnish
okaaay
here. you fail all the time
I’m a winner though
Does your mom tell you that?
Handicapped Amish crossing?
I know, your mom does that on herself – from the ass mainly.
Building comment pyramid ftw
yays
That’s how I’d take that sign.
‘Christopher Reeve crossing’
That is just sooo wrong.

milf win
No, but his mom told ME that this morning when I left…
I can see you sitting on your sofa instantely replying to everything
And I can see you learning to spell! Wheeeee!
Really? I fail to see that happening any time in the near future.
I always was a crappy prognosticator.
You’re using those big words again. They are going to start griping about word nerds again.
Ah, pllbbt. Let ‘em gripe.
Is “pllbbt” from Sanskrit as well?
It’s all greek to me.
I had my first first too on the previous one, but didn’t feel geeky though.
More like first fail, congrats!
The amish can use wheelchairs? lol
Finally, disabled people can now experience the simple pleasures of a horse-ride. But for only 150 yards, there’s where the problem lies…
Why Fail?
Agreed. It looks silly, but disabled people should be able to ride too…
Culture fail: You folks don’t get out much if you don’t know about (horse) driving for the disabled. Sensitivity fail: Nice ablism, folks. Stay classy.
We shall all look to you as our mentor.
Shouldn’t think you’d need a special sign for it! The regular horse and buggy should be enough. I mean… why do you need to watch out for the guy in the cart, if you’re going to miss the HORSE crossing the road!?

Those darn Amish!
They creep me out. I’m so glad we don’t have them here.
Loz creeps me out. I’m so glad we don’t have her here.
Loz creeps you out. I’m glad we have her here.
*playfully noogies Loz*
Kanchou creeps me out, I wish I had Loz here
She’s not near you, but the AMISH are!!
You call?
I left that there for you:)
I appreciate that my Lady.
General we leave for war…. THIS IS BIO!
Yes, but doesn’t everyone yield to persons in wheelchairs riding inside eyeball-wheeled carts that are coming out of a horse’s anus as it trots (for 150 yards)?
Yea all the time it’s the rules of the road. They teach you that in Driver’s Ed.
HEY! WHAT”S YUR PROBLEM?!?!?!?
HEY!
That eyeball wheel has a perfectly arched eye-wheelbrow, gives it character, not overplucked at all.
Is is looking in awe at the disabled person above, which is as big as a horse.
Maybe it is not a horse but a dog.
Maybe you’re not a human but a cat.
Maybe he’s not a cat but a human hunting machine.
Or maybe I am a cat that hunts machines.
after 150 yards you can take that thing down, the person inside is not using a rein to control it. he is just doing it for the fun of it, not really going somewhere.
Is it too early for messican food? I’m hungry
‘Horse’s anus’, what a kinky fantasy that sign shows.
If its pulling the cart with just it’s anus, then it has muscle control that some folks would PAY to experience…
I have been paid for that experience and it didnt live up to the hype. I had to give a refund and a coupon for the All You Can Eat buffet down the street. Muscle Control fail
If you like horse, you will sure like bike!
>_o ouch…
Most specific sign ever. I don’t think the scale is right though – that’s either a very small horse, or he’s towing a giant…
What the hell…??
Could that sign be… anymore confusing?
It could have “other means of payment” written on it.
Or “Turn right”, “No right turn”.
“Scream until Daddy makes your legs work”
At least it’s not seen from a balcony…
You are right. Yards are confusing for many of us, we need another sign with the equivalent in meters for clarification
137.16 m. http: benefitslink.com/cgi/fiberlinkmanager/measurement_converter.cgi
Thanks. Now if I had a car I could drive safely by that road.
Metric 4 life. Yo.
Metric 10 life?
does that mean theres gonna be people in wheelchairs riding chariots for the next 150 yards?
Seems to me it’s a lazy wheelcharriot. Why put your wheelchair in a non-mechanized form of transformation? Horses have feelings too. It’s redundant.
Seems to me, you need a better form of transformation. You clearly haven’t transformed your use of the English language into a proper, working form yet.
Holy sarcasm fail on my part. I am humbled *bow*
Well, there are actually several good reasons to do it. Many people who use wheelchairs ride horses or carts without their chairs; but there are people with specialized chairs that do things like keep them in the right posture; and of course there are the people with some kind of assisted breathing, who’d have to lug the whole cpap or ventilator machine around, which is totally annoying. So you do like you do in a bus, and just clamp the wheelchair down in the buggy without getting out of it.
That looks like a fun day out.
It’s highly recommended for anyone feeling down, or, eh, sulky.
If you look at this sign you might understand my mother’s choice not to put me up for adoption!
WTF are you talking about???? Adoption is not funny, unless you’re adaptod by a horse on a bike!
your mom’s a fun day out
and in..and out….etc.
Woohoo! Yet another sign I saw while on vacation through Scotland. I saw several of these along a particular stretch of road, but I can’t recall where exactly. We had to stop and get a picture of the sign as well.
no you didn’t
You saw it just after Loch Ness as you were coming into Invermorrison. It’s a sign to warn drivers, on a steep road with lots of blind corners, that there’s a riding center specifically for people with disabilities which, on some cases, means the wheelchairs are towed on carts.
I gotta be honest… I’m not sure how this sign is a Fail or confusing in any way.
And no, it’s also not fake in any way shape or form.
Thanks for ‘splaining Dougal. It’s a weird sign if you don’t know what it’s about, but now that I know, it makes perfect sense.
Ahh that makes sense, we did see the riding center on the side.
I also saw these in Scotland in Drumnadrochit near Loch Ness.
Laughed genuinely at this one.
Fake nonsense… about as funny as my leg hairs…
Mandatory Photoshop Comment, check.
Leg hairs are only funny when they become ingrown and not on your own legs.
leg hairss funny if you can tease though 20 denier material… preferably that nasty orange colour that they call ‘American Tan’…
Nothing fake about it. I’ve seen the same sign in a different spot, on the road to Loch Ness.
Fail photo fail.
Driving for the disabled is a rare, but not unknown sport, and some of their carriages are indeed adapted to allow a wheelchair to be rolled on.
I’d love to know where the sign is, though.
Ah. This sign is for a disabled persons riding center (apparently this is a very good therapy for some conditions) for Borlum farm, near Uquart castle, on Loch Ness, in Scotland.
http://www.drumnadrochit.co.uk/riding.html
So yes – its a very confusing sign, but no – I dont think its a fail.
—* Bill
Me neither, but I was enjoying the general loud, insular, parochial, ignorance of the mass of posters…
It really is fun, isn’t it?
What the hell is that sign supposed to mean?
“The road ahead is not in good enough condition for your to roll your wheelchair on, so clearly the only logical choice is for a horse to haul your disabled ass for 150 yards.”
…This is that country’s answer to the handicapped-accessible public bus?
you*
Well the red triangle means it’s a warning so if anything it would mean ‘warning: disabled people being towed by horses for the next 150 yards’.
I really don’t get it.
It’s a warning not to sprain your neck with the double-take that would be caused by such an unexpected sight.
You clearly don’t live in my area. About 1 in 100 people you see out and about is disabled in some obvious way, and that’s just counting the visible ones. But then, we have a lot of older people, and there’s a college nearby that’s kind of famous for being actually wheelchair accessible (as opposed to “we might have a handicapped restroom stall for you, but good luck turning the tight corners in the tiny little 1920s era buildings”, which is what you get at most colleges).
Are you ready to rumble?
Eh…cyclic redundancy?
Phone order herpes win!
Amish do not use phones. You put your comment before the horse.
Must be the price of petrol these days!!! (or gas.. if your american…)
If my American WHAT?
If your American petrol is a must.
The proper word is “you’re” not “your”. That is what Luchbox was attempting to inform viewers of.
English Fail. (Engrish)
*facepalm*
Captain Obvious your ship sailed without you
You mean you’re ship.
It isn’t ‘you’re ship’… that would be saying ‘you are ship’, which doesn’t make any sense.
Everybody should contact their local state office to complain about how they only let handicapped people ride a horse for the short duration of 150 ft. That’s just barbaric!!!
Wow, a handicapped person AND a horse? I guess the crocodiles are going to be full after this meal.
If it’s a child in the wheelchair, they’ll be ok as long as they stay out of Virginia.

I’d call this “sign fake”…
wtf
I don’t get what is ‘Fail’ about this.
It is obviously just a sign warning that you might encounter disabled horse riders at some point in the next 15 yards. Presumably it’s a ‘Riding For The Disabled’ centre and they have to cross the road or use it for a bit.
Seems like a perfectly reasonable sign to me
IMHO, the reason it’s a fail is that unless you already know what it means, you have no idea what it means.

I even have my weather app set for Fahrenheit because I grasp the meaning of the numbers better.)
lol this sign is in Scotland — or at least it was for me when i took a picture of a sign exactly like it.
wow
Handicapped Amish people crossing?
