Chell's Advanced Knee Replacement
Ewww, what's wrong with your legs?
Curiosity core

The Advanced Knee Replacement is a device introduced in Portal. The device was created in order to keep Test Subjects from injuring themselves when falling from great heights. The Replacements protect the player from falling damage at any speed, even from terminal velocity. After being dragged back into the facility by the Party Escort Bot, Chell's advanced knee replacements are destroyed. In Portal 2, they are replaced by the Long Fall Boots.
