Chirunning – Using Gravity to Pull you Forward – Possible?

[Whack-a-Mole]

Maybe it’s like that thing in the Hitchhiker’s Guide, where the secret to flying is not to think about flying.

I seem to remember the trick being to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

I have created a cranked neck brace which forcibly tilts the head of the wearer backwards by about 10 degrees; even if you’re walking up a slight incline, it will look like it’s downhill and will therefore be much easier going. Except for the slight problem of tripping over unseen obstacles, which I have still to solve.

But when you trip over, you’ll be leaning forward even more (for a moment at least), which makes your invention all the more wonderful! Tripping over things isn’t a bug, it’s a feature!
