I saw a device that braced the legs and back with metal. She would have needed slacks to make it work though.

She probably would have needed someone to wheel her in too.


Unless it's a proper exoskeleton with joints or something.

I think the hilarious part about this entire thing is Davis's side is clearly being stifled by some pretty horrid rules and rulings, and their response is just, "Fine, we'll use your stupid rules and still win."

I think this is the most mature YouTube comment section I've ever seen.

Yes, I know, that's not saying much
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

Keeping track of this shit is crazy.
