    It’s a good question. One of the major examples are wheelchairs. They could be much faster then they are but they are deliberately restricted to leg speed. Of course for safety reasons and so on but its kinda obvious that we don’t trust anyone disabled to excel non-disabled people.

      Counter-point to that would be blade-style leg prostheses, with which ‘disabled’ people can acheive speeds far greater than non-augmented people.
