I suppose you can hop it downhill with very little effort.
Ever tried running down a steep hill on foot? It's dangerous, hard, and ridiculous. Hopping on the way down like those moon astronauts (with plenty of practice) is a lot easier, safe, and fun.
Now you probably won't be able to hop down less steeper hills but you probably could with these sprung boots / stilts.
