## Caption

“I feel like Iron Man.” 🥹 • Former Humboldt Bronco Ryan Straschnitzki walks again using cutting-edge exoskeleton. 🙌 • Seven years after being paralyzed in the tragic 2018 bus crash, Ryan Straschnitzki stood tall once again, this time with the help of a $400,000 robotic exoskeleton. 💪 • The advanced XoMotion device, developed by Vancouver-based Human in Motion Robotics, allowed Ryan to walk a 40-foot track, handle a hockey stick, and even toss a football. 🤩 • “Science is expanding every day… I’m very fortunate to try it,” Ryan shared. “I forgot how tall I was.” 😁 • Straschnitzki, who was the inspiration behind the technology, now sees a future where people with spinal cord injuries can reclaim mobility, and a new perspective. 👏 • So great to see! 💜 #thegist • (c/o @rstraz_, @camiKepke/x) • #humboldtstrong #hockey #ryanstraschnitzki #exoskeleton #menssports
