Limbo is a fun game with one very simple rule – pass under the limbo stick without touching it.
Unfortunately, this game almost always rewards shortness, not bend-over-backwards flexibility and balance.
To correct this bias, I propose a limbo machine which takes the player’s height into consideration.
These days, limbo machines use harmless lasers instead of the traditional bamboo stick. I do not know much about lasers, but these beams can probably determine the participant’s height at some marked point before he/she bends backwards to pass under the limbo laser.
Mechanics of the non-discriminatory laser limbo machine:
1. Machine computes bendiness ratio of each participant.
Bendiness ratio = Height at which participant touched the limbo stick/Height of participant
2. The participant with the lowest % wins.
World Record Limbo?

Yeah big plus. Take away short people's only advantage in life. |

What about fitting into aeroplanes, achieving a low centre of gravity when go-karting, presenting a small frontal area when cycling into a head wind, purchasing pants that don't need to be cinched up to about 50% of their as-manufactured waistline, not hitting their head on things, appearing buff on television and in film, being able to sleep comfortably in a standard bed, being able to travel comfortably in less-developed countries, appearing 'well-endowed' on television and in film... |

This would discriminate greatly in favor of persons with very short legs but very long torsos and heads. |

You'll have your jobs cut out to beat this guy (link), whatever way you sway the rules. |
