It's True - Christophe Cayrol has produced a pair of boots with built-in ultra-sensitive metal-detectors capable of picking up as little as a gram of metal in the soil. When the new shoes detect a mine below the surface they trigger an electrode on the lower leg which causes the muscles to pull the leg back out of harms way, preventing you from treading on (and detonating) the mine.
