Stilts demand side-to-side shifting to move

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Hook: Bolting giant sticks to your legs completely ruins the biomechanics of normal stepping. Explanation: Since you cannot bend an ankle that is made of solid wood or aluminum, moving on stilts requires throwing your body weight heavily from left to right. This tilting clears the opposite stilt from the ground, allowing you to swing it forward.
