That is quite amazing. It just shocks me how far prosthetics and things of this nature have come in the last 10 years. My uncle has diabetes and has lost both legs, his new prosthetics are simply a work of art and allow him a much more normal life. If only he could see better........

I've seen a movie of a 'supersuit' which made you stronger and faster. it was powered by a gas engine, and weighted quite a bit, but with the motor running, you didn't experience any weight.. :)
