Carry Heavy Load-Posture Falling Forward and Up=Kinetic Energy
Ozzie Gontang
Learn how to Think Up and Lean Forward...from the ankle. Only the knees lift up as the body falls ever so slightly forward from the ankle. The erect posture leans 2 or 3 degrees from the ankle and your center of mass is always slightly ahead of the front foot with the forward angle remaining the same.
This is using what is called gravitational torque. It means your leg lands so your body keeps movng forward so that your body won't fall down...just continually forward. There is litle impact because your foot is never way out in front of your body. That overstrde stops the body and the impact is felt by the body because the ground never gives.
