What is the purpose of the weight consideration outlined in DA10?

The purpose of the weight consideration outlined in DA10 is to safely manage the increased weight of power wheelchairs. This is essential because power wheelchairs are often heavier than manual ones due to their additional features, such as batteries and motors. Understanding and addressing weight considerations is critical in ensuring user safety, as it impacts the design and stability of the wheelchair, its maneuverability, and the ability to transport it safely. Additionally, effective weight management can help in preventing accidents or injuries that could arise from improper handling or operation of a heavier wheelchair.
