Bow Suit

The true story of the first bow suit is hard to distinguish from the many tales about this legendary invention, but reliable sources claim it was born when skis were attached to the back of each leg and handles provided for each arm. Thus when the wearer squatted down to jump, the bows flexed and upon straightening released their stored energy. Details are scarce because the few witnesses who survived the bow suit are said to be scared stiffer than the bows themselves. However, it is known that running is facilitated by the free movement of the bows when the arms are not holding the handles, and the bottom of the bows are strongly attached below the knees to the feet and legs with armoured wrap around shin guards. Once the wearer runs to speed, grabs the handles much like a backpack wearer holds the straps, and drops into a deep squat, the following action sequence is indescribable because high speed photographic equipment has not been available to record these fantastic releases of energy. However, investigators continue to piece together the evidence, and suspect the bows also function as skis, and the attachment of wheels for a type of street luge.
