User brakes with wrist strap

The tipster uses a wrist strap to brake the wheelchair. He uses his forearm to brake. He uses a gel coated pushrim with god friction (Tetra grip).

Leather wheelchair gloves against the tetragrip push rims result in hard braking, while the wrist strap gives a soft braking experience.
