The sense of unease is under influence of the organ of vision and the vestibular organ. In this paper, when the human croses slopes using wheelchairs and the influence of the organ of vision is eliminated, whether or not, the declivity angle for human to feel the anxiety can be estimated. It is clarified that the declivity angle for human to feel the anxiety can be estimated with relatively high accuracy.
