Dear List,
Way back around 60's, I remember using a rocker type prosthetic foot that had an inverted
metal U Bolt which coupled between foot and pylon.
Once at school playground I kicked the foot ball up in the air, to my surprise I got a
glimpse of two objects high up in bright sunlight, before I could just realize something strange,
I fell down with a thud and saw a huge crowd of students staring at my lower limb, peeping
out of pant was this broken U bolt.
Does any list member have any further technical details related to the above prosthetic foot.
I also realize how grave the situation would have been if it had injured others near by.
Thanks in advance.
