Strange Inventions

I understand the need to develop new technologies to aid factory workers, but I think they might have taken it a little too far with these robotic legs.



I mean seriously, does that look comfortable to you?

Once upon a time I worked in a warehouse that was trying to implement the wearing of steel-toed shoes. The management was met with widespread resistance from a disgruntled workforce (I don't care how many styles those shoes come in; they still hurt your feet). After that experience, I can't even imagine the internal PR campaign that would need to be launched to try to get workers to "saddle up" as it were. ;)
