Richard has got it basically right as far as I can see. However it is (of course), all a bit more subtle than that. There are two emergency scenarios that revolve about the boots. In the first scenario the boots are very well fixed to machine, so it is of course totally impossible to fall off. In this scenario you end up with two broken ankles, or two broken legs, and then you die. In the second scenario the boots can easily break away, and then you depart the device and die.
However, I can help, as I have the local snake oil franchise, so just send me $1000.00 and I will pass onto you my hard earned solutions, which I derived with help from my old mate Chicken Little (of the sky is falling in fame).
