Personal shock absorber

[BumbleAbout]

Just spotted this http://www.newscientist.com/gallery/...nd-hospitals/4

"It has been tested on US marines, who regularly get injured while standing in fast-moving inflatable boats that slam down hard after jumping waves. In that situation a person's knees must absorb the equivalent energy to jumping off a 2.5 metre wall every few seconds."

It's bound to end up being cheaper than the Ullman shock mitigation seats, so get's my vote

Could do with some shock absorbers fitted to my Knee Brace .
Wonder how much it costs ?
