I thought this was legit; it's suppossed to be a walking 'frame' for elderly, etc, with trouble walking (HAL stands for 'Hybrid Assistive Limb' or similar), and I've seen it mentioned seriously in a number of places (most recentlt

Aren't the Merkins developing something similar for their Future Soldier project or whatever it's called? So they can carry more kit and stuff...?
