mass produce, awesome, for every warehouse & production plant alone, distrib center, lab, etc, Lisc & produce.

This is a very interesting device. If it ever reaches mass production, it may become affordable. In the meantime, it will be out of reach for the people it is being addressed at. Low paid laborers working in factories.

Just Great, I can see it now, all of the Casselberry city workers are going to have these, paid for with our tax dollars. and Post office employees will be next OR first in line.

Can't tell you how often at work people think "I should go get a chair" but they would rather put up with the strain than waste time getting one and putting it back. Filing, stocking low shelves, searching through storage boxes, fixing something, etc. I wouldn't care how weird it looked to anyone, I would just claim to be a cyborg and let them laugh their aching butts off.

Seriously, if you saw someone stocking shelves wearing knee pads would you burst out laughing? If so there would be more people laughing at you than at the guy with pads. This is just a bit more elaborate; a few straps and some brace like things. If the pants were a similar colour to the straps it would be hard to see at any distance.
If I saw someone on the street wearing it my first thought would be that it was a medical brace or something and when I was told what it was I would be more impressed than amused. If people can wear pants down around their knees, knowing that everyone outside their limited social group thinks they look like an idiot, people will easily wear something as useful as a chair.

I see a clear synergy with another equally amazing productivity invention. http://youtu.be/n_1apYo6-Ow?t=18s

Good idea for people in warehouses, trades people etc.
Who cares what it looks like if it works? But it would have been nice if Gizmag had included a photo taken from the rear, without the chicks long obscuring hair.

This is meant to be a device to wear during work, not for general purpose everyday wear. If you've been working (wearing the noonee), and need to step outside to go the the bank, grab a bite/ a smoke/ some coffee, then you take them off first. Simple.

Next step, springs like Chelle in Portal.
