Honestly, I thought the video looked like a poor CGI job.  A good backpack should actually distribute the weight to the hips, right?

no expert, but a pack that's floppy won't distribute as well on the hips so this should do fine because the stationary back piece is rigid. i think. as long as the damping is right and follows movement and doesn't overcompensate for body movement. looks like a great idea for trekkers.
