    I’ve been all about these things since we first started talking about them, but whatever that is is bullshit. It doesn’t have nearly enough connection points, and the ones it does have are secured by velcro. If the workers are feeling anything, and that’s a big “if,” then it’s purely placebo.

    Edit: Clearly @Hellsadvocate thinks tricking folks is the way of the future.

      It doesn’t need to work. As long as people think it works they can use it to increase the weight people are required to lift unassisted.

      My company is getting some exoskeletons to decrease the strain the work has on our employees and increase work safety. Not every company is comic book evil…

    I wouldn’t mind one of those just to go up and down the stairs with a laundry basket.
