'Age suit' allows youngster to feel what it's like to be old

Check out this weird and wonderful 'age suit', which was designed to allow a young person to experience what it's like to be old.

This video shows a fit 26-year-old testing the suit, and feeling all the aches and pains normally associated with people in their mid-seventies.

The suit was originally developed by Ford, the car manufacturer. The company originally created the first Third Generation Age Suit about 20 years ago as a way to better understand the needs of older drivers.
