I am putting up a chart of the most common complaints based on selling jump stilts.
#1 G Force (with least amount of ballistic impact)
The last thing you want is to have to exert more energy than you need with each jump.
You don't want ballistic, jarring impact on your ankles (or knees) when you jump.
In a spring with constant decelleration, you should have nearly the same ballistic impact as the middle and end of bounce.
On a stilt that is not for your weight class, the jarring affects the weakest of the joints first, with usually the knees and then the lower lumbar. If not enough time b/t the last part of the deceleration before the acceleration, it can feel too abrupt. Your springs hsould have enough movement to avoid it stopping too abruptly.
Even SPRING TENSTION (EVEN HOPPING)
A jump stilt should take the energy and harness it, not dissipate it. Cheap springs harness less efficiently than better springs. Some springs last longer than the other, even with the same stilt. They say it is from your bounce style.
Energy Efficiency:
PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE TO PUT SO MUCH EFFORT TO REACH THE BOTTOM 90% TO 100% OF THE SPRINGS TENSION. ENOUGH SAID!!!!!
NOT ALL LIGHT WEIGHT STILTS MEAN THEY ARE THE BEST.
NOT EVERYONE LIKES TO SPEND ALL DAY TRYING TO PUT THEM ON AND TAKE OFF.
SOME PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THEY WILL BE BOTHERED BY ANNOYING NOISE UNTIL AFTERWARDS
SLIPPING HEELS!!!!!! IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR HEEL SLIPPING IN AN OUT. THEY ACTUALLY DO MAKE BETTER BINDINGS TO PREVENT THIS!!!
NUTS AND BOLTS:
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR STILTS AFTER EVERY SESSION, MAKE SURE YOU LET US KNOW.
Take my quiz if you need help choosing which type of stilts to get.
...Because I had to buy 3 pairs until one fit.
