ok, am i the only pervert in the cellar? when i see the thread title, my first thought isn't that a legless girl has found a way to transport herself. i'm thinking that a legless individual... oh never mind.

My first thought upon seeing the pic was to flash back to Weebles of my childhood.

I am SO going to Hell.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. You are so going to Hell....and so am I for laughing at that thought. :rolleyes:

I can't help myself...

Wow. She can move around on her own, independent of others, without being restricted to only paved roads (which, by the looks of it, they might not have). How cool is that :).


However, as much as I admire her character, I'm not sure I see the ingenuity in the solution she's been provided with. Eventhough she must be well enough adapted to "walking" around on her hands, if this is her only way of moving from one place to another, the functionality of her remaining limbs might decline quite a bit in a few decades or so (from the daily strain on her wrists, for example).

yeah but between now and then she's gonna have some pretty buff arms

I would guess she swings on her arms like a person on crutches once they get the hang of it. Then at the end of the arc she rolls or pivots forward on the ball while she replants her arms forward of her body. She could probably make pretty good headway on a smooth flat surface. :)

and if they inflated they used one of those big red balls we used to play kickball with, she could just bounce everywhere she goes, like Tigger.

The image that's going to send me to hell is a lot more like a Hippity-Hop.

Wow. They have them in Adult size. I may just have to get one of these bad boys. And it's considered fitness equipment! It's an Easter Miracle!!

Update!

What a strong character that girl is. God that's positively humbling.

Damn you Bruce, I need to learn to read the bloody dates on these things.

I got all excited coz I thought moodle was back :(

But, what an awesome story.

Thanks for that link UT.
