These Legs Were Made For Walkin’

Posted by on April 21st, 2010 in prosthetics

Do yourself a favour and check out today’s COILHOUSE’s article on Kim Graham’s Weta Legs.

Even if these backwards-facing legs are not your particular cup of tea, you can at least be happy that we are entering the age of functional commercially available designer prosthetics.   If you did want to stride out into your favourite urban or rural environment upon mechano-hooves, you could do so with these for under a grand.  (Which, you know, is still a lot of money, but progress is what progress is.)

Now, you get the talented Ms. Graham to combine her new legs with PowerIzers or AirTrekkers or even Cheetahs

…and stand back and watch while tribes of folks in prosthetic legs run along the outskirts of the city at upwards of 20 MPH, hurtling high over the heads of commuters.  Well, I mean, that’s what I see in my head at least.
