Bionic legs help man regain pride

Bionic legs help man regain pride
Mr. Peng Shulin from China tragically had his lower body cut off in a truck accident last year, but he is now up and "walking" thanks to the implementation of a pair of bionic legs. The egg cup-like casing holds his body in place, while the bionic legs help him get around with the help of a resized walking frame. He's also got a pretty spiffy pair of Adidas shoes to boot. Hopefully inventions and developments in modern medical science will be able to see more and more disabled people regain their mobility, but the society around also has to work together in order to make our surroundings disabled friendly.

Maybe he really was cut in half last year, but every other account I've read say it was more like 10 or 12 years ago.
