Are old suits the new fat-suits?

The old suit is a prosthetic hobble that simulates age-related disfunction so that young people will know why their elders are so cranky?

The suit has six kilograms of weights sewn in at various points to simulate a sense of heaviness. In-built ear muffs block out most noise.

The helmet has a visor which both restricts the line of vision and wraps it in a dull yellowish tinge. Arm and knee-joints are stiffened, making it hard to sit down or find a comfortable position.

Even the gloves have a little device inside which acts like a tiny needle, simulating arthritis.
