When I first saw the “TheHurryCane” on TV I was genuinely intrigued. I thought the concept and design were innovative and it represented more stability in contrast to the conventional cane. I was however a bit hesitant about the price. At $40 bucks one would expect it to perform. While at a local medical supply there happened to be a HurryCane on display. After testing it in the the store, I was sold. It lived up to its promise of providing stability on all surfaces, even on ice and in snow but had difficulty in getting it to stand up-right.
