Bionic Legs, For Real
They're Chinese made, so undoubtedly they're chock full of industrial poisons that will kill him within days, but for now, he's walking.
Despite having lost the entire lower half of his body to a truck.
Doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing found out about Mr Peng's plight late last year and devised a plan to get him up walking again.
They came up with an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own, creating a sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body with two bionic legs attached to it.
Thanks to dri.
