aside: What's amazing to me is that I have friends that stomp around like that without any physical handicaps.

There is such a thing as balance. Spending a little more time mowing his friggin' amazon rain forest back yard doesn't mean he can't still do his job.

Then again, maybe he purposely let it grow so he could test this technology in a "harsh" environment....]]>Jun 20th 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/tensegrity-prosthetic-foot-promises-to-make-walking-easier/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/tensegrity-prosthetic-foot-promises-to-make-walking-easier/Jun 20th 2008 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/tensegrity-prosthetic-foot-promises-to-make-walking-easier/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/tensegrity-prosthetic-foot-promises-to-make-walking-easier/
When someone says rain forest, I imagine trees growing many stories high, creating a massive canopy of green above, and all around me.

My yard looks much worse, the grass is over a foot high now, and 50 trees to take care of aloing my property line, drive way, and dot a few points in between. I'm glad I work seven days a week though, that stuff is more important than my "amazon rain forest".

This prototype is very amazing, the gait and movement for many below the knee amputees would be natural, if not near perfection.
