Piston walker

I haven't gotten a rift yet so I am just thinking about it.

Imagine two pistons facing upward in the shape of a V with your feet at the top of the V (one on each piston), and you in a harness suspended above them). As you move your legs forward to walk, the piston supplies feedback so if you step on the ground (or stair case, or hill, or a dead body) the piston (via hydrolics) supplies the necessary feedback (whether it is concrete, or sand, or soft ground (or a squishy corpse). Attacked to your feet via clips the V pistons articulate forward, around or in any direction. You then walk, run, jump, etc. While harnessed above the clips. If you need to fall the harness will just drop a bit with some piston drop.

Maybe they can be straps instead of, or on the clips.
