There are several potential dangers of washing in a bathroom with a handicap which make things like a handicap shower, roll in shower or handicap bath accessories useful.
The first potential danger is obviously the simple fact that they will be moving around a lot and doing something that is very physical. If your disabled friend, partner or relative is wheel-chair bound, then they will not be used to getting around without their chair – however unless you have roll in showers they will have to do so in order to wash and this means they are climbing out of the wheel chair and into the bath or shower.
From here they are then required to stand or sit in unusual positions and contort their body in order to wash themselves and to make sure they don't miss any areas. Of course this is dangerous too – and something like standing in the shower and washing your feet might be something your take for granted but will be incredibly difficult for them.
