    Assuming you are bound to a wheelchair you probably won’t shower normally anyway

      I don’t see how this changes anything. My guess is someone in a wheel chair would use the hand held showerhead more often, which means while maneuvering the shower, it would be possible to accidently spray right out that hole and soak the bathroom.

        It would reduce the amount of water flying against the glass. But yes the mess will be the same

      People who are in wheelchairs still shower the same amount. Depending on the nature of their impairment they may be able to stand long enough to shower, or they may climb into the tub and have a shower bench, or they may have an assistant who helps them shower. It’s pretty ableist to assume that someone with a mobility impairment isn’t able to maintain their hygiene.

        They didn’t say they shower less, they said they may not shower normally.

        Showering with assistance, using a shower bench: these are not the ways people shower normally. That does not imply that these methods are unhygienic.
