This is yet another example of why we should be more wary of the companies that make the technology than we are of the technology itself. The problem, isn't the tech, it's the business model. Here what we have is a man who depends on a $100,000 exoskeleton for mobility that stopped working because of "a piece of wiring that had come loose from the battery that powered a wristwatch used to control the exoskeleton," a tiny problem the company refused to fix. "After 371,091 steps my exoskeleton is being retired after 10 years of unbelievable physical therapy," Michael Straight posted. "The reasons why it has stopped is a pathetic excuse for a bad company to try and make more money."
