Bet these will go down a storm Not.

Saw them on facebook and wondered how effective they'd be for drop hiking, then I thought, even if they were, they'd get banned straight out of hand.

If they are for physical reasons no class association will ban them.

I would have thought they would to be honest.  But then I’d ban hiking pants if it were up to me.

That thing appears to be providing mechanical assistance to the leg muscles and the knee joint. What next - an exoskeleton? 
Quite apart from the potential damage it could to the the boat...

Tbh it looks like it would be extremely uncomfortable to hike in. 
I don't see how class associations are malignant in anyway though They are only a group of people with similar aims as in they sail the same boat, want a roughly level fleet to sail in and want to protect their investment in some way and that varies from really strict OD boats like a Laser to development classes like the Int 14.
If you want to do something else, either get involved and work to change things in the class or just form your own class.

Sailing is run by mysterious men in smoke filled rooms, they don't speak much.
