Conclusion:
Essentially, if Tyrannosaurus rex tried to run, it would disintegrate.

Conclusion:
The results presented demonstrate that the range of speeds predicted by earlier biomechanical models for T. rex locomotion include speeds that would apply greater loads to the skeleton than it would have been able to withstand. These high load speeds can therefore be excluded from our predictions and this means that the possible range of maximum speeds has been greatly reduced and essentially limits adults of this species to walking gaits.
