* In ''[[Something *Positive]]'' [http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp12012004.shtml Dahlia challenged Monette] to sit in her wheelchair for one trip (while she can use a wheelchair as a walker). Later Monette remembers Dahlia's dad used to work at a helicopter factory.
{{quote|'''Monette:''' ... I don't know how Dahlia sat in that chair for ten years without killling someone.
'''Dahlia's mom:''' She did it with patience, friends and a father who helped her calculate [[Ramming Always Works|the proper ramming speed]] in an electric wheelchair to correct other people's assumptions.
'''Monette:''' No chair-mounted gun turret? And I thought [[Everything Is Big in Texas|he was a real Texan]]. }}

* This is also why Toph's parents in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' kept her so sheltered that even her ''existence'' was a secret.
* This was the villain's explicitly stated intention in one episode of ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'', when he kidnapped Uncle and cast a spell that rendered [[Monkey Morality Pose|Jackie mute, Jade deaf and Tohru blind]] so they couldn't rescue him. Needless to say, they did anyway, [[An Aesop|and a lesson was learned by all.]]
* Happens in an episode of ''[[Rocket Power]]''. Reggie is in a snowboarding competition with another girl she recently befriended who happens to use a wheelchair. Reggie lets her win... and gets a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] from her dad and everyone else. The remainder of the episode is Reggie trying to figure out [[Must Make Amends|how to make it up to her new friend]].
