Where this is all going is a semirigid exoskeleton with active shock absorbtion. With nanotech, millions of tiny accelleramators and instantly-responding multi-density-state foam will utterly transform all kinds of activities that need suit-type protection. Imagine a LEATT brace that was flat until a millisecond before deployment, and that custom-conformed to the person's body.
Picture a storm trooper exoskeleton that was intelligent and responded to input trauma in a millisecond. The airbag concept expanded and shrunk to nano size.
I love the 21st century.....for some things.

For others, like having to take my R1200S in to the stealer to adjust the idle, I do NOT like
