No..?

How about if you were also paralysed down your right side as well..?

This is my mate Stuart Gunn, he's attempting to break the world land speed record for a blind (and paralysed) rider.

Why????

If he's going to have an accident doing it he a. Won't see it coming and b. there's a 50-50 chance he won't feel it either.

Hahaha I can see the pub conversation now:

Dave1: alright lads, I've decided to buy a new bike, a quick one!
Dave2: won't the missus kick up fuss
Dave1: nah, I'm not going to tell her, I'm going to keep it in a mates garage
Dave2: that's a bit sneaky isn't it?
Dave1: nah, what you don't see can't hurt you!
Stuart: What was that?
Dave1: Are you deaf as well as blind? I said, what you don't see can't hurt you!
Stuart: Is that a real thing?
Dave2: it's figurative Stu, not literal!
Stuart: Whatever, I've got an idea!
