I keep seeing commercials and random shows where people have these things that go on your legs. They let you jump really high and move around really cool.
They sort of strap to your legs and make you stand like 2 feet off the ground. I looked them up like a year ago but can't remember what they are called.
I know I'm being REALLY vague but does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Nope they aren't moon shoes. They are metal. They are strapped all the way up to your knee so that it's like an extension of your leg.
I'll try to find em. Didn't know if I could get a quick answer from you guys :p

You mean those strange springy walking stilts or something similar? I don't know the exact name of them but I think that's it

Yes you are thinking of the same thing.
They are real because I have seen them in more than just the insurance commercial. They were on like espn one time where these adults got to put them on and dunk basketballs against pro NBA players at some school.
I was able to find out where you can buy them like a year ago but I can't remember what I typed in to search for em or what they were called >_<

Well there you have the name for them, Bouncing Stilts.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Is it just me, or does it cut away right before he "lands" when he jumps into the bed of the truck on the video on the product web site?
I know people who put up drywall for a living use something like those so that they can put the ceiling sheets up easier, but they aren't for running around like that commercial.

Because putting your head through freshly laid drywall can make for a very bad day?
They don't seem to have any sort of official name. Originally they have been patented as "Powerskips." Some brands include:
Powerskip(Germany)
Powerskip Pro (Germany)
Velocity Stilts (Powerskip modified in the US with upgraded parts)
Poweriser Classic (Korea/ Philippines)
Poweriser Advanced (Korea/ Philippines)
Pro-Jump (UK)
Powerizer (China)
Powerizer Pro (China)
UpWing / Redoxx / Pro-Jump Elite
Jollyjumper(Russia)
They are an awesome piece of equipment, but can be quite pricey at anywhere from $300-$500 USD.

Those are called drywall stilts. They don't bounce.
