STILTS

Run slower. Jump carefully. Strap yourself in with duct tape and pray that the steel doesn't skewer your leg. Seriously, I had a fat green bruise for, like, a month. 

The leaf spring packs some bounce, but the secret is in the shiny joint between the base and where your foot goes. It slides up and down, and minus the screeching noise of unlubricated metal grinding on metal (and the danger it poses to your body) it's pretty cool.
steel, leaf spring, dr. martens, hinges, nuts & bolts, scews, aluminum t-slots, zip ties
