No because I have no sense of balance whatever. I once had a shopping cart
and lost it on a slight hill. I stumbled and stumbled, tripping and falling
and grabbing for the cart until I literally hit our van. That wasn't fun.
I know I would fall over with a walker on wheels. At least the shopping
cart has some weight to it. Those wheeled walkers are lightweight.
