Tricksters - S1-E17

Trivia: When Jesse learns a new Trickster is copycatting him, he tells Barry and Joe that when he terrorized Central City, days without casualties were as rare as the Chicago Cubs winning the pennant. A few months after the episode aired, the Cubs made the playoffs, but lost the pennant in a four-game sweep; they won the pennant the following year and went on to win the World Series for the first time since 1908.

Barry Allen: My name is Barry Allen and I'm the fastest man alive. When I was a child, I saw my mother killed by something impossible. My father went to prison for her murder. Then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world, I'm just an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to fight crime and find others like me, and one day I'll find who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am The Flash.

Season 1 generally

Question: Why did Eobard believe that pretending to be crippled would divert any suspicion away from him? He could simply walk around even after the accelerator exploded and people could just say that he was lucky that he didn't get injured, mutilated or even killed.
