If your body senses imminent impact, Liquid Shock Absorb will turn your tissues into a gelatinous substance capable of absorbing or redirecting the force. Depending on what hits you, the vibrations may be enough to crack pavement or break bones. After being struck your cells relax and enter a liquid state which is more susceptible to damage and is more difficult to control. Because of this, successive hits may eventually cause damage, but it also allows for increased flexibility.
