QUESTION:

Why must you bend forward when carrying a heavy load on your back?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

When adding the heavy load on your back you change the position of your center of gravity towards the newly added mass. That shift of center of gravity could mean that a new center of gravity is positioned behind your back, which would mean that center of gravity is no longer above your support base (your legs).
