One aspect of this page is the result of mishaps with my wife's wheelchair which could have broken her right leg, already in an inoperable (heart condition) broken hip-joint. .
Already, there have been breakages to leg supports. More here dated 8 Sept 2015.
Practicably anything which is automotive can create havoc if not handled properly. (And soon, we'll need to dodge driverless cars. )
Going through closed doors.
Carry a simple door wedge.
You suffer from back-ache and resist bending.
You approach a door and there's either no one around to help or those who are regard you as invisible.
Solution
FInd a piece of bamboo and a door wedge. Screw the wedge to the bamboo. Find a suitable length of black tube. Tie it to the wheelchair with duct tape.
