Are people getting so obese these days that there's actually a market for something like this because people can't bend over, or are people just lazy.

back injuries. I have had days from mine where I can put on a sock and yet feel the headache come on or it intensify. so for me if I was a bit worse with that. this would be a blessing.Are people getting so obese these days that there's actually a market for something like this because people can't bend over, or are people just lazy.

.look up movies/pictures from woodstock (or other from the 40's to 60's) (just 50 to 80 years ago)
and see
there's no one in the movies / pictures obese - they're all skinny and healthy(physically). very few exceptions if any.
if you're over middle age, remember when <almost> no one in college or on the bus or airplane or at the grocery store or at the shopping center or at the movie theater or at the laundromat

The food supply is being genetically altered. Because of that, our bodies are also being altered.

... or pregnancy. Or people who aren't very flexible any more because of old age.back injuries..
while I agree with that. I know men way older then me that can so splits and do yoga. one of those is my old sensei. he is in his mid 50's.i know with this Is one of those things that if one is flexable and keeps it you don't loose it.... or pregnancy. Or people who aren't very flexible any more because of old age.
There are a few valid uses for such a device.
My 79 year old sister-in-law just climbed Diamond Head last week..... and last year, she did two marathons....... but it WAS just "speed-walking". (which is almost as fast as I can run)while I agree with that.

where I live, we have what we call snowbird season. most of the those are over 65, darn it the fwc wont allow me to shoot themSome here have mentioned disabilities and back injuries and such. That hadn't occured to me, but I did know that there were elderly people who would have a problem with putting on their socks. I just didn't think it was such a large group that there would be a big market for something like this. I think obesity contributes considerable to that market. I know that's the reason I have trouble bending over.

Maybe it doesn't have to be such a big market to be profitable. When you look at what companies that make medical supplies and devices charge the insurance companies for these things, maybe this thing is only intended to be sold to a smaller market at a huge price?Some here have mentioned disabilities and back injuries and such.

Of course, now that my hypothetical 500 pound friend has used this to put on his socks, this still leaves me wondering how he is going to put on his shoes and tie the laces!
think of all the lives of the natives you have made richer by doing that.Snowbirds.......................... You mean I have been shooting them illegally?!?!?!
That borders on genius!Maybe it doesn't have to be such a big market to be profitable. When you look at what companies that make medical supplies and devices charge the insurance companies for these things, maybe this thing is only intended to be sold to a smaller market at a huge price?
