Alternative link where I’m told the story is written better, but unfortunately has a signup wall and I’m not willing to sign up https://www.404media.co/paralyzed-jockey-loses-ability-to-walk-after-manufacturer-refuses-to-fix-battery-for-his-100-000-exoskeleton/
it’s not about the exoskeleton, but that the fact that the guy was forced unable to use it and left paralyzed for two months because the manufacturer refused to give him a $20 replacement battery for the remote, making the $100k exoskeleton a brick. If it wasn’t for the media outrage, he would still be paralyzed in a bed waiting for someone to carry him around with a wheelchair
