Hugh Herr shows off his augmented legs

[Noz]

Anyone else get a mad scientist vibe from this guy.

I dunno about him, but if I lost an arm, I'd get the one the inspector had in Young Frankenstein

I'd probably start talking like him too.

It's not going to be covered when it's not standard procedure. Or something like that anyway. I doubt the avarage joe will be able to get high tech limbs just like that.

I am thinking

If these get any better, Human legs will become Obsolete

Even losing a hand wouldn't be so bad if you got one of these. 360 degrees wrist rotation!

Or you could just have a dead hand attached:

The prosthetic hand, the hand transplant and Hugh Herr's bionic legs are all news from 2010/11. When did it suddenly become the future?

It's not the future till I can put a blade on my robotic arm. If I had one. Would come in handy while hiking.

I wonder how they're powered and what kind of battery life the legs would have.
