But equating a supervised tour with modified equipment (the speed governor) can not be equated with free use of personal equipment. You can take a ride on a firetruck on Main St, but you can't bring your own firetruck to drive yourself around the parks. You can take a horseback trailride but you can't ride your own horse around the property. And without the "medical equipment" label it can not be counted as a required medical device. On the other hand if a person could get a physician's perscription that no currently available equipment can satisfy, it is possible to force such a declairation. But I don't see that possibility happening any time soon. IMHO

Yeah, I am aware of all that, the point of my post is that those three "SG's" who are suing will ruin it for the rest of us, by making WDW management "rethink" the tour. Even if WDW wins (and I hope they do) I am sure that some lawyer will "suggest" that to avoid future problems, etc, etc,
Over the last 30 plus years I have seen silly decisions creep into the workplace in the form of "policy" I remember a number of years ago, I was assigned to internal affairs, and had to investigate a "sexual harrassment" case. The office manager would walk in every morning and say "good morning" to all the workers in his office. A newly transferred in worker, (who had a bone to pick, and thought she had gotten a raw deal on a promotion) file a complaint, and subsequent lawsuit for sexual harrassment. The gist was that the tone of his voice was suggestive! BAM new office policy, do not say good morning! (not kidding) Silly? Ya betcha! comment on the degraded civil lawsuit system, of course!
Still suprised at unrealistic reactions to SG type of lawsuits, Not anymore!
