  • cool...

    until it short circuits and the legs flex and extend repeatedly... ramming that seat thing into your crotch, smashing the future of mankind to a pulp... and thus the reign of the machines began...

  • The idiot who edited this movie should jump of a building, the sound is terrible. First off you raise the volume of the sound so that you can hear what everyone is saying, once you do that a frakking midi sound starts to destroy your eardrums.

  • I gave it a thumbs down too, because of the lousy music. It sounds like early video game music, frantically fake, with a lot of chord changes that the "composer" probably thought were really cool at the time.

    But the assist devices are a good idea. Today, after a long day of museum crawling, I could have used one of those.

  • Gave it a thumbs down for the annoying music that is way louder than the talking.

  • i hate this video because of the stupid midi music!

  • What the hell does it do?!

  • LOL! The next Segway? (Fail!)

  • I donno if its just me but something tells me it would not be safe to have batteries near your balls...Or what ever powers this machine walking.

  • I see.

    I probably should have thought more of others than just my own disabilities, thanks for reminding me that there are other problems out there other than mine... I hope you are feeling better these days

  • Well, I have a rare form of muscular dystrophy in my legs and feet. I have extreme fatigue even walking short distances. I have pain and it feels like I ran a marathon every day. I could see this giving my muscles a great deal of help in doing things like walking a normal pace without needing to sit down every 3 minutes! :)

    I can't jog now either.
