I'm sure I wouldn't walk away after landing with that. It looks more like a toy for ABs' !
I'd hope the ReWalk is water proof!
They'll come up with anything to make a Dollar as long as it's Not a Cure, putting Tons and Tons off people out of work.

I found this website which lists competitors to Rewalk. http://www.exoskelet...sInterview.html I think these exoskeletons will get better and better and the price will come down to where it will be affordable. In addition to ReWalk, Berkley bionics hopes to have their personal exoskeleton available in 2013.

Funny you say that but rewalk is not waterproof according to the PT's at kessler
