That went way better than I thought it would

I completely agree. When I was a kid there was a slide in a playground that had rollers. Someone showed me how to hold onto a bar and run on the rollers. Well I slipped and smashed my face into the rollers losing a front tooth. Many thousands later and I was a kid under to witha root canal and a false tooth. It's still holding strong.

I had one of these near my old neighborhood, it was built as part of a playground for kids. Years back, we used to play a game, where 2 or more people would stand on it, trying to stay up. It was fun.

What is that thing designed to do? I would imagine not that

It is literally just play equipment and I've never seen anyone use it this well. Mostly it's just a disappointing 0.5 seconds of trying to stay on.

If I tried this I would fall hit my head on the spinny thing and instantly die

My arches hurt watching her jump off barefoot

Perpetually barefoot person here. Your feet start to heal and become normal again after you stop wearing shoes all the time. They can withstand jumps like this.

Ex-Perpetually barefoot person here. For some people, it works the opposite way!

What happened to you? Just curious and don't want to disregard your experience. It helped me immensely.

The short answer is plantar fasciitis.

With respect, I hope this doesn't open a door of treatment strategies or anything. But to cover: I'm on year 5 of it. I've been doing all the things. The people in my life used to laugh at how often I was barefoot. My wife marveled at my insane calluses. I've always been athletic and never overweight.

But I'm supposed to have cushioned supports until it heals. Which it refuses to do.
