being bipedal is fucked
basically zero other animals risk dying instantly if they trip over something
the fact that standing height is a potentially deadly fall is an absolutely bonkers evolutionary trait, oh boy i can reach high and grab things whOOPs i fell over slightly wrong and cracked my brain case
And we're less stable to start, loads of animals can stand around fine if they have a leg caught in something, most humans fall over immediately if you unexpectedly can't move a leg, and yeah potentially die
like you are statistically more likely to die because you just fell over than you are to die because of a car crash, and car crashes are a wacky physics lesson we invented that kill a shitload of people, being bipedal is just that fucked
Justification for transforming you into a quadruped: Being bipedal is maladapted, your spine is just constantly destroying itself, and it's bad for you. This is medically necessary
