    Robotic Suit Helps Woman Take First Steps Since Surfing Accident.
    A champion Australian surf lifesaver who was left a paraplegic from a surfing accident while on holidays has taken her first steps with the aid of a sci-fi-like robotic suit.

    Is this major tech breakthru finally the answer to having the paralysed walk again?

    This is a really nice uplifting story. Too bad countries can't put all their money into inventions like this, instead of ways to protect ourselves.
