Obviously we don't know the whole story, but as long as his wounds were healed down there, I don't see why he couldn't have used a wheelchair, as many of you guys have pointed out... Something smells fishy in China.

I wonder if he can pull a rickshaw while wearing this gear... :p]]>Jul 13th 2007 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/bionic-limbs-enable-legless-man-to-walk-again/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/bionic-limbs-enable-legless-man-to-walk-again/

It's great that he's getting help with mobility, but those "bionic" "legs" look pretty silly for day-to-day use.

Of course, that wouldn't have allowed China to use the poor guy as some sort of public relations spectacle... but maybe I'm overly cynical.]]>Jul 13th 2007 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/bionic-limbs-enable-legless-man-to-walk-again/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/bionic-limbs-enable-legless-man-to-walk-again/

To improve upon that, there could be two "sets" of segway bottoms, and it could do a wheely to be on only one set so that it is tall like a normal person, and the wheel sets could rotate over eachother so he could go up stairs and stuff. I think that there's some robot that does that or something similar to that, at least.
