Now, a video of Piette wearing an exoskeleton and marching on with the Olympic torch has got over 2 million views on X. Spectators and people around him are seen erupting in cheer and supporting him.
With this remarkable gear, Piette can rise to his feet, take strides, and tackle everyday tasks with a newfound freedom. By carrying the Olympic torch, Kevin inspires others to engage in sports and support innovation for the disabled.
The accompanying caption reads, “Kevin Piette, paraplegic since an accident, made history today by carrying the Olympic flame with his exoskeleton!”
