Would it maybe be possible make shock absorbers built into metal pipes?, so that you still can jump and still will get abit high like the:
?
The pipes would make the shock absorbers to be straight, maybe 2x shocks per stilt, so that you got one on left and one on right side between underside of your foot
.
Maybe they also would be working with the oil like a front bike shock absorber and with the function of choosing hard or soft, hard if you just wanna jump down or up and soft when going to run with?
Maybe another idea for the future
