The practice of sliding activities for the severely disabled is not easily accessible. While handiskiing offers the opportunity for people with reduced mobility to take part in certain activities, this is less obvious for those with more severe disabilities.
To remedy this, Lugicap has developed adaptable adaptable sleds that can be adapted and configured to suit each individual's disability. The aim is to enable all people with reduced or very reduced mobility to enjoy the joys of sliding disciplines.
Lugicap was born from the experience of a quadriplegic
Lugicap was born of the idea of Frédéric Martin, a quadriplegic following an accident, to find a solution to the problem of wheelchair mobility in the snow. While out with friends in a ski resort ski resort he came up with Sled.
This Sled would serve as a receptacle for the wheelchair. Equipped in this way, the disabled person could take to the snowy slopes under the guidance of his or her companion.
And so Lugicap was born. He put his idea into practice and developed the first Lugicap. With this equipment, he crossed the Jura in complete autonomy with his brother Arnaud and his friend Frank Emeyriat.
Over a period of 7 days, they covered 68 km in temperatures of -20°C. A real challenge for someone in his condition, because it had never been done before. Lugicap was born of this extraordinary adventure.
The company offers severely disabled people the chance to take part in activities that were not really obvious to them before.
