For injury-prone athletes (football players, skateboarders, motocrossers, etc), I propose a wearable system of telescoping high-carbon steel or graphite-fiber rods & high-tensile cables. This system would attach to an athlete via padded cuffs on either side of a major joint. The rods would provide
impact protection, and the cables, on the inside of a joint, would ensure that said joint moves just so far, and no farther. Properly designed & executed, the wearer could lie face-down on two chairs, for instance, suspended only by their toes & forehead, and someone else could walk, even stomp, on the wearer's lower back without causing injury.

Max and Logan looked at each other. Logan tried the exoskeleton switch at his hip but nothing happened. [LoriZ, May 18 2010]

With carbon fiber this would probably work. Not sure it's a good idea for some sports, but in others it would work. |

No offence, but this makes me think of 'American Football' v 'Football' |

More specifically, when do we enter an F1 stage where any player with the budget can buy their way to greatness. |

True, but I was think about previous news about major rules changes to happen after, um 2007? to even the field. |
