[Skip the intro to mark 1:00 for the good stuff!]

Being paralyzed shouldn’t stop someone from engaging in a sport lovingly described by Mark Twain as "a good walk, ruined," thanks to the Paragolfer machine by Parabasetec.

Check out the paragolfer in action (yes, it’s a promo video, but it’s amazing nonetheless): Hit play or go to Link [YouTube]. If you want one, be prepared to shell out upwards of $26K.

    If you listen hard, you can almost hear the golf clap they're getting for solving such a "important" problem.

    Nevermind golf; This would be very helful in many social circumstances. Just to be able to look a man in the face as you shake hands would be a great help.

    So much more that this could be used for then just golf. I wonder if the manufacturers tried it out on other things but decided on this because they could charge more for it as a luxury?

    They should partner with the Dennis Walters Golf show... seems like a perfect fit.
