Their pitch expressly claims the device isn't AT... But it is to help more people access the outdoors, which I think counts to an extent.

I agree that this is great for people with injuries, I also don't think they hide the cost and while I agree they do make good products they tend to be on the high end of said good products and this one will undoubtedly be costly.
