I think it coold be a good idea. In the movies the guy doesn't look to sure though. And the safety line indicates a weakness, if you fall, you'll never get up...

You're gonna need your arms reenforced too, just in case you need to pick yourself up a buddy up.

One was developed for nurses and medical personell, to help them lift patients in hospitals. a 50kg nurse could lift an 80kg man without any problems with one of the prototypes. But all of them are too big and clumsy yet. 10-15 years (or so) in the future this could be a reality in our daily life.... |

I don't exactly like it, but I wouldn't exactly know what it's like to carry a 50lb.+ pack on your back for miles at a time.

Guys...its the first steps to "Starship Trooper's" my favorite science fiction story by Robert Heimlen.
Mobile Infantry. Each man becomes a space ship, a tank, and the most destructive thing on the block. "Forever shines the name shines the name of Rodger Young" |
