VIDEO: Bionic suit allows paralysed jockey Jonjo Bright 'step into the unknown'

“In a way we are exploring the unknown....it’s massive that the Irish Injured jockeys have bought this piece of equipment, this is what I was dreaming of."

Jonjo Bright, a jockey from Antrim who suffered severe injuries from a fall two years ago, is benefiting from an exoskeleton bionic suit purchased by the Irish Injured Jockeys (IIJ).

IIJ announced today they have purchased the suit to help with the rehabilitation of injured riders who have suffered lower extremity paralysis.
