would be ironic if you break your leg using this xD

If you have enough crutches of the same height you could also make a crutch tripod.

Yeah, this is cool, but you can always donate them back to the hospital or healthcare assiciated stuff with crutches... but this ible makes that out of the question...

I looked at this instructible after i did this same exact thing.

This is a cool idea, if you fall and break something, the crutches are right there.

Neat idea but I would suggest testing the handgrip with your weight before really attempting this. I use basically the same crutches as stakes for halloween ghouls (after cutting off the toppad) while trying to drive the ends in the ground I pushed on the handgrip with my foot, instead of going in the ground the screw/bolt ripped through the thin metal but then Im just a couple of tacos short of 250lbs. Just attempt with caution.....
