Is it true that prosthetic limbs make you faster and if so why isnt the world record for events like the 100 meter faster than the regular?
In: Engineering
The answer would be that the world record for the 100m dash is not the fastest time ever for the 100m.
Instead it is based on an arbitrary set of rules. In this case it is the fastest a person can run, under their own power, 100m without assistance. Which would include any prosthetics that give the person an advantage.
