Why not just hike and run normally?

Typically, exoskeletons fail for one or more of three reasons: insufficient energy supply; lack of ergonomics for different body types; or causing damage to joints, ligaments and tendons.

How much different from the metal “MAN AMPLIFIER” shown in POPULAR SCIENCE (Nov 1965) back in the early 1960s? Later seen in the movie THE AMBUSHERS, and a big one in ALIENS.

Run longer and faster without receiving the the health benefits of doing either!

Does it make a t-t-t-t-t sound? Will it rebuild the user?

Exercise isn't the first application I'd be thinking of; aid for disabled and elderly certainly is. But what is more likely to happen first is application within military and law enforcement. A 100-pound female cop isn't likely to prevail in a tussle (evidence to that abounds) but one who can bench-press a bus will, unless the arrestee has a suit as well.

As for exercise, though, I'd go whole hog and purchase an entire robot to go out and hit the gym for me. Far more efficient.

I love hiking and backpacking. If this thing can make walking down hill easier I want it... way harder on the legs hiking down steep grades.
