First Bionic Hand That Can Feel.

Who? A man from Denmark.

When? Recently.

Where? Denmark.

What? A bionic hand that can feel the object in it's hand.

Why? He got a Bionic hand because he lost his hand in a firework accident.

I wonder how he lost his hand in the fireworks.

Other people should have upgraded the hand so it could feel surfaces and feel if an object is hot or cold.

If this had been me I would have been more careful with fireworks.
