PowerRisers

Similar to the rocket boots we previously covered, PowerRisers "allow you to jump 6 feet in the air and make 9-foot strides." Video after the jump.
...the jumping stilts have curved legs that will launch you at dangerous speeds in whatever direction you point yourself in. The stilts are a bit pricey at around $380

I owned a pair of these earlier this year. It is harder than it looks to even walk with these on. I fell after a few days and ended up breaking my wrist. I ended up selling them on ebay for a nice profit though....

Hey Zedd2k, Is it worth the payoff of being able to Jump and run faster/higher, to go through learning how to use those things?

Unless you have extreamly good balance I would not suggest getting these. make yourself some cheap regular stilts out of some wood and learn to walk with those first.

Is that really so complicated to learn walking them? I haven't walked at regular stilts at all. What do you think? And what about the wrist breaking? I can imagine it's very hard on the whole foot.
