I'm obviously completely delusional and strapping springs to your feet is completely safe then

You lunatics

Why does something have to be completely safe? I bet you'll never try skydiving either, right? See you in 30 years when you look back at your life and regret being a Mark Corrigan.

My friends partner bought him a pair of these maybe 2 years ago now, I think he has used them 3 times thus far.

For most people they will be a fad, unless you can find a group of people who have them I would have thought.

It's things like these that remind me of the almost inevitable melding of man and machine.

There's a chance of injury of course there is, but I bet rugby is more dangerous.

Can you run much faster in these once you can run in them?

I always wanted a set of these until I realised the price, I still kinda do but I just know the amount of useage they would get would not justify the initial outlay of moneys.

I don't run, I jump.

However, with some footplate mods and decent stamina, 30 mph is accomplishable.

These actually look quite fun, I imagine it'd take a while to get to the stage where you can do flips and things though, which lets face it is what most people would like to be able to do.
