That's not a burn. Mike (whose hands you see in the video) has a medical condition which causes skin discoloration. It is a side effect of the condition. Bonez didn't fight back. I know because Mike is my son-in-law to be and he filmed the original 24 minute long Pleo dissection video at my house. You can see that video and a few others at his PleoDreams.com web site.

Mike is a remarkable engineer. He is doing this stuff so that he can understand how Pleo works. He is currently working on a couple of after-market products for the Pleo.
