Apparatus for playing and supporting a user during a game

An apparatus for supporting a sports player while standing and ambulating on a playing surface and playing laser-tag, said apparatus comprising:

• a support frame having a height and width sized for supporting the sports player;
• two handle beams, each having a first end connected to the frame, and a second end connect to a handle, and each said handle is configured to be grasped by said standing and ambulating sports player;
• a plurality of surface contact elements positioned on the bottom of said frame, wherein said surface contact elements glide or roll along said playing surface;
• one or more lights mounted on said frame, which one or more lights are configured to emit one or more of visible light and infrared light;
• two hand controls which operate said lights, each hand control co-located with a handle beam and handle;
• and
• one or more sensors mounted on said frame, wherein said one or more sensors are configured to detect infrared light;
• wherein said hand controls are configured to allow operation during ambulation;
• and
• wherein ambulating comprises one or more of skating, walking and running.

An apparatus for supporting a sports player while standing and skating on an ice playing surface, and for propelling a playing object across an ice playing surface, said apparatus comprising:

• a support frame with a height and width sized for supporting the sports player;
• two handle beams, each having a first end connected to the frame, and a second end connected to a handle, and each said handle is configured to be grasped by said standing and skating sports player;
• a plurality of surface contact gliding elements positioned on a bottom of said frame, wherein said surface contact elements glide along said ice playing surface;
• two movable propulsion devices for propelling an object, wherein said propulsion devices are attached to the frame near the bottom of the frame, in front of the surface contact elements;
• two rotational mechanisms, each located at the lowest end of a vertical support beam, and attached to one of said two movable propulsion devices which extend below each of said rotational mechanism and vertical support beam positioned above the playing surface;
• two hand controls, each co-located with one of said handle and handle beam;
• and
• two cables, each having a first end and a second end extending from one of said hand controls at the first end to one of said rotational mechanisms at the second end, each said cable extending through and inside of a structure of the apparatus comprising a said handle beam, an elbow support and a vertical support beam;
• wherein said hand controls being configured to allow operation during skating.
