It's a pain. Look at the fair's photos: the backrest is joined to the pole with a fixed inclination; the adherence between the back and the backrest doesn't allow the pole to move to a wrong inclination. The rubber grip at the end of the pole stabilize the device to the ground. Have you ever tried to be standing for hours at work? It’s a pain.

Why did I think of it before ... ? Oh yeah I know : Kangaroos are not capable of practical jokes that could make you crawl straight to the nearest hospital (and I am not even counting distracted people). Sooooo unpractical that way. Or it would need an automatic airbag system for Kangaroos. This I could invent LOL Oh GREAT invention, the “backrest”…
