Walking With The Wounded teams acclimatise during bad weather delays

The video discusses the development and testing of prosthetics designed for cold environments, focusing on comfort and energy efficiency. It highlights the challenges faced during testing in extreme cold and the solutions implemented to improve thermal properties.

What was the primary focus of the private company in developing prosthetics for the South Pole journey?

• Weight reduction

• Energy efficiency and comfort

• Aesthetic design

• Cost reduction

What characteristic of the prosthetic feet makes them suitable for cold temperatures?

• They have built-in heaters

• They are waterproof

• They are made of highly sprung carbon

• They have thermal insulation

During the cold chamber test, what major issue was discovered with the prosthetics?

• They caused skin irritation

• They were difficult to attach

• They were too heavy

• They had no thermal properties to retain heat

How did the team address the heat retention issue in the prosthetics?

• By adding thermal layers

• By redesigning the prosthetics

• By using a sense of humor

• By increasing the size of the prosthetics

What was the temperature range experienced in the cold chamber test?

• Minus 20 to 30 degrees

• Minus 58 to 59 degrees

• Minus 60 to 70 degrees

• Minus 40 to 50 degrees
