“You don’t need to understand Japanese for this funny attempt at a fire rescue. The idea behind this is that they are all sweaty because its hot.” — chocotengoku

“The Hybrid Assisted Limb (HAL) robo-suit was designed by Tsukuba University professor Yoshiyuki Sankai. It’s supposed to increase the wearer’s strength tenfold. A disabled man named Seiji Uchida will be carried up Mont Saint Michel by someone wearing the HAL robo-suit. Uchiba will be placed in the back of the suit in a pannier. It has always been his dream to climb this mountain in Normandy, France, and he hasn’t been able to do so due to his physical challenges. The robo-suit has been designed to bear a load of 176 lbs, so should be able to carry Uchiba without too much trouble.” w/ photos
