Have any of these people actually tried walking on rollers! If the
rollers have any resistance, there's always a chance of walking off
the device, and if the rollers are frictionless, then it's like
walking on ice. Personally, I'd go for anti-gravity sandals with a
gyro-stabilised body-mounted thruster system to ensure stability :-)

Cheers,
