I can guarantee you that this doesn't work well on anything other than perfectly cleared sidewalks and freshly paved roads. Could not imagine workplace lawsuit

I can guarantee you that this doesn't work well on anything other than perfectly cleared sidewalks and freshly paved roads.
Could not imagine workplace lawsuits that will happen when someone falls and alleges shoe was at fault.
Seems cool, not worth the hassle .
- fasthands9 4y agoI think there are probably warehouse settings where a product like this (assuming it worked) would be valuable. These places are going to be mostly flat predictable floors anyway. If you can reduce the amount of man hours needed that saves on labor as well other health related costs. Though perhaps by the time tech will work full scale robotics would be able to replace most of these workers anyway.

- a4isms 4y agoWay back in the early 80s when I worked in a bicycle store, we used to sell adult tricycles to Air Canada. The aircraft mechanics had a choice between golf carts and tricycles for getting around, but the trikes were popular because so many of them grew overweight and had health issues from being extremely sedentary. Riding around on a trike let them get across big hangers quickly, carry tools and small parts comfortably, and give them a moderate amount of exercise every day.

- avereveard 4y agolove all the cuts on that section of the video, absolutely nothing fishy happening in between.
- gghffguhvc 4y agoOn second viewing I agree that is pretty dodgy.
- spiderice 4y agoYeah the cut right at 3:58 when he is about to step in to the pothole is pretty suspect. It shows immediately before and immediately after. Can't think of a reason they would cut it that way unless they're intentionally trying not to show it.
- okasaki 4y agoSeems like typical youtube editing...
- bfeynman 4y agoalso listening to how rickety it is, probably not so great for your knees.
