I could see this helping construction workers take part of the load off of their bones. I've seen so many people with fucked up bodies, from running up and down roofs with heavy equipment and materials. Something like this would be great.
It wouldn't really even need a massive battery. You could easily fit a bunch of batteries in the work van, and just swap them hourly or whatever.
