The Canadian military is testing a technology from the Spring Loader company that allows its soldiers to carry more weight, perform exercises for longer space, and better withstand the strain on the knees from skydiving.
The company Spring Loaded Technology has signed a contract with the Canadian Ministry of National Affairs Defense, αξίας $1.129.990, για την construction and supplying a respectable number of hydraulic knee pads strong enough to withstand the pressure required to lift 160 pounds while wearing said knee pads on each leg.
It's something like the suspension of the car, but in your body. According to CEO of the company, Chris Chris Cowper-Smith, the knees will be tested by the Canadian army in a variety of missions.
Sprink Loaded is not only aimed at military versions of its technology, but also provides commercial versions designed to repair damage from use in extreme sports. We look forward to it with interest.
