Michael Straight was paralyzed from the waist down after a horse riding accident.
He was able to walk again thanks to a $ 100,000 ReWalk Personal exoskeleton.
When one of its small parts malfunctioned, the entire device stopped working.
He reached out to the manufacturer, Lifeward , for repairs, but it turned him away, claiming it was too old.
The issue was caused by a piece of wiring that had come loose from the battery that powered the device.
