^ Whatever it is, the government and these oil companies owe these guys more than a new arm. This is fucking amazing.

this is a great thing in a near future losing a body part will no logger be as bad.

think of it you need surgery to have your arm or leg removed for what ever reason, instead of getting a wheel chair or plastic arm you get one of these

I`ve met Dean Kamen once, he`s a pretty cool guy with lots of ideas for the future. He talked about the limbs at the Solid Works Convention in SD a while ago, it`s nice to see the results
