Heh, funny enough this showed up on reddit r/funny just last week. Here's the reddit comment thread [0]. From that comment thread I learned that there is 90 minute documentary about Troy and this suit titled "Project Grizzly" [1][2]

have noticed a lot of reddit stuff is getting recycled here lately.

This is hilarious. With each iteration he has less and less mobility.

Also, I find the car hit test disturbing. Sure, maybe it protects your limbs from breaking or joints from hyper-extending, but does it protect against your brain sloshing around inside your skull?

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is no joke.

The most interesting aspect to me is that when he moved on to the (IIRC) "Trojan" system it was much more focused on ergonomics and mobility.

Concussions are still very much a thing.

From a time before we know what CTE was lol

I didn't realise conceptualisation for the X-Box franchise HALO started this early...

Reminds me of the film "Top secret".

This guy was ready to start the brotherhood of steel.

This is terrible.
