I imagine one could dampen the motion by regulating the tension of the bungees? or maybe lock it entirely if you need to jump around for a while? I think that kind of shock absorption and momentum conservation optimization over something that happens tens of times per minute (like steps or strides when running) would definitely make a difference.
