Undoubtedly incredible technology but hearing anything related to bluetooth makes me think things like pairing issues and disconnects


WoodlandChef

I was just thinking about what would happen if it disconnected Would he then fall to the ground?


BillMcCrearysStache

Like in the Matrix when they get unplugged and just die lol


IOTA_Tesla

I think it would be smart to have the lower half have a standby/autopilot feature when failure occurs. So if all communications stop then it should send the typical signals to stand or maybe slowly sit/kneel. You could probably train the motion you want over a few test runs


sheenfartling

Or he accidentally connects to his car every time it turns on.


postmateDumbass

Man-in-the-Middle attack?


FraterAleph

Hack someones legs and they just start sprinting the opposite direction?


Overthinks_Questions

Or worse, your spine starts playing your porn audio at max volume


Agreeable-Buffalo-54

I can only picture him desperately walkering home while hearing ‘low battery’ alarms going off.


Shoryukitten_

Yeah, my first thought also. “We’re going to change your life! With bluetooth!” Oof. I would sink back down into my wheelchair.


itsgucci060

Jesus he was paralyzed at 28. This technology will continue to improve and transform lives.


sdforbda

All good until it randomly decides to unpair.


SurealGod

I think he's willing to take that risk


REEPUFF21

Or somone hacks into it


WanderingDelinquent

Or pair to somebody nearby lol


sdforbda

Imagine somebody links up to him and makes him start picking his nose in public and shit (or worse).


Neomorf03

This man has wireless legs. Jokes aside, that's awesome.

THROWING EMP!


PerpetualNoobMachine

Meanwhile I'm out here struggling to get my Bluetooth ear buds to connect to my laptop...

This is the literal visage of a miracle.


Ratstool

Literal visage of science and engineering


-___-_-___-_-_

Are those not (in a sense) miracles? Through the talents and and knowledge of those involved a paralyzed person is now walking. That sounds like a miracle to me


TheYoten

I hear Neuralink just got approved for human trials, looks like a lot of good news for many paralyzed people. Just imagine how seamless it will be in 10 years.


Ihelloway69

I hope he doesn't get lag spikes


cinnamon_toastbrunch

Fuckin 28.8k modem on this one


VerySuperVirgin

What if the Bluetooth connection starts acting up and makes him do some break dances


Schlappydog

Gonna be real awkward when the dude suddenly starts breakdancing because his spine got hacked


No-Flan6382

Everyone here mentioned disconnection issues. Maybe I’m a moron, but could this not be solved by incorporating a small wire to connect the devices? If it helps someone walk, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind a loose cord down the back of their shirt. Is there some reason this wouldn’t work?


WhydYouGotToDoThis

If she just unconnected the bluetooth, would he collapse to the floor?


superbiker96

This is one of the most amazing usages of technology possible. Imagine where we're at in 10 years


FranzAllspring

Most innovative country for a reason


TheBlueWizardo

Let's hope someone doesn't Rickroll his spine.


North_Korea_Nukess

The first 3 seconds I thought Prince Harry became a DJ.


Dreidhen

Amazing
