When he gets home he should double flipper drop kick his engineer for not finding a way to make those bitches more aerodynamic.

Also, while he may not have to worry about blowing an achilles, the prosthetics could fail or become detached from his legs.
He doesn't have the use of foot and calf muscles to help propel him. Its all in his thighs, hips, and lower back. He runs differently than a person with complete legs. |

It has nothing to do with anyone doubting the athletic ability of the guy and everything to do with the fact that it's just not the same race. |

I think that is decidedly a disadvantage. Whether or not he is getting any advantage from the artificial limbs, like a 'spring' action, I can't find anything on that. |
