I missed the thread when it was new, but reading it now, the study confirms what I expected. The point that I was going to raise until I noticed how old the discussion was is that having no lower legs not only reduces his weight, but also that the prosthetics are half a leg each that consumes no energy from the body (and therefore allows that energy to be used to power other muscles) and cannot get fatigued like a normal leg.
