Alex,
Glad you're OK. My first though was that you had motorised your walker (I think you spoke about doing that) and it had got away on you. I had visions of a run-away walker hitting a tree.
Obviously you need brakes. On Mum's walker the brake handles can be pulled up to stop the walker or pushed down to hold the brakes on, like a hand-brake. Put your name on it too. Apart from them being valuable if you ever wind up in a nursing home or hospital there will be dozens of identical walkers around the place.
The bloke who ran is just an insensitive rissole and hopefully life will sort him out.
