Tech talk "Leg"
Craig Hutto lost his right leg in a shark attack when he was 16 years old.
He survived but lost his leg in the attack.
Soon after that he became one of the first people to test out a new prosthetic leg created at Vanderbilt University.
This mechanism creates a more natural stride and allows users to do things that are not possible with normal prosthesis, such as run or go up and down steps and inclines in a natural way.
Although the whole thing is not worked yet they are considering manufacturing them shortly.
