looks like if the inventor uses the device thats gonna happen
 
It really looks like some kind of strange, rolling, bondage apperatus designed by a sadomasicist . Besides the crotch smashing harness, It looks like some badly stubbed toes waiting to happen and if you crash or lay it down your gonna bang your head on the frame or break your neck.
 
Looks like to me the guy is being humped by the bike and running to get away from it.
 
Why not just....oh, I don't know....run? :shaking:
 
South Park reference, very nice. I wasn't sure if anyone would catch the similarity or not.

I think your on to something..............probably be an event in the next Olympics, or the Tour de France............Ballcylcling..............I can hear the commentator now, "OOOO that last bump seems to have affected the leader............he's started running when he should be rolling and he's loosing ground"........... Or "I'm afraid so and so has some technical problems and has pulled off the track" ( strained or busted testicle ) anybody got another ??

I'm sure the inventor's buddy said " that's a great idea!"
 
with some modification to the harness, this is actually a pretty cool concept. Imagine standing at the top of a hill, running to the edge with you arms extended in front of you, as you reach the edge you pick your feet off the ground and extend them behind you, not you are in the superman pose flying down the hill banking through the curves, sweeping back and forth. that could be a fun thrill.



how ever...i do see accidents being painful
 
Just looking at it makes my neck feel strained and my legs tired of holding my feet up, not to mention the potential joys of running in a harness.
 
Maybe it was intended for women? Perhaps?

It might be OK on smooth pavement/concrete w some better type of suspension/harness, but I think the hole for your head is a brain injury waiting to happen. I don't think running hunched over foreward would be good for your back or hips at all. Hit a curb or a pothole or lock the front brake and you would be in quite a pickle doing an endo while attached to the contraption.
 
I thought the 3 wheel lay-down bicycles I see every now and then weren't such a good idea. The lay-downers you can't use your own weight for leverage. They would be fun down hill but not up.

Maybe could see this operated at an angle for very drunk stand up assistance. Actually, I'd LOVE to see this used for that.
