All I have to say is that it'll suck if the hydrolics get ruptured and you have to carry even more weight than you originally needed to...

nah youd just ditch it if that happens, fucking awsome stuff

Thats really cool, im sure if they broke you would have to decide what you really need and dump the rest.

That's very cool. What will they think of next...?

Wow, now that I've seen it I'm thinking why didn't anyone come up with it before? Pretty simple concept?

Simple concept yea, but intracate engineering and mechanics for sure.

I do think it is way to big to be practical at this point..

whatever
 

I think it is a good idea.It would make things worse if it failed though because then the person would have a heavier load to carry.

crap I accidentally double-posted.It was really messed up the way it put my posts between posts that were already there.

That'd be aweosme if it was full body...........hmm mobile suits!!!!

Keep in mind that if they do a full suit version, they'll have to come up with some type of artificial spine for the suit in order for it to be able to lift greater weight than the wearer could.

Very cool.

Yep. It starts here. Won't be long before we do have full on body suits.
