I invented the roller skate.
The original idea was for horses, but that didn’t pan out.
So I adapted it to humans.
I once had a patient who was an amputee and always physically fought with his backdoor neighbor to a degree that it wasn’t unusual we’d take one or both of them to the hospital.

I am very glad he didn’t have one of these.
I imagine his neighbor would be, too.

They wouldn’t be good for a street hockey game
