There is a flip side to these suits. They are meant to engender understanding and empathy. Occassionally, it goes wrong. Experience all the physical limitation and some come to the conclusion that old people should not be allowed to drive or operate anything that moves.
(I once had my foot run over by an elderly person in very heavy electric wheelchair in a grocery store. If not for my steel toes, i would have been limping for months. That person was totally unable to control the machine, but what can you say? Better my boots than a kid in flipflops.)
