Ten years ago, Peter Lammer suffered a serious motorcycle injury that left him without the use of his legs. Even with course after course of physical therapy, he is considered 80% disabled. Besides unimaginable pain and mental strain, his financial future was in question. That inspired Peter’s friend, Bernhard Tichy, to get creative! He ran a nearby zip line adventure course and understood hanging movement. Together, they developed Standing Ovation, a one-of-a-kind device that allows disabled users to sit comfortably on a bicycle seat at the point of a large hook. The hook is attached by carabiners to a railing on the ceiling that allows the user to slide up and down the workplace. Chef Peter’s weight is transferred to Standing Ovation via the device and that keeps his hands free for work. With Standing Ovation, he can do just about anything that other chefs can do.
