Gaiting straps are put on a horse to keep his rear end in line. I’ve put them on trotters on both sides. Sometimes they’ll throw their feet out pretty wide into a wheel or the sulky, particularly on a half-mile track where they’re going at a terrific clip around the turns. A lot of good horses that I’ve raced had to wear gaiting straps over a half-mile track. A gaiting strap catches them up along the stifle and keeps them from throwing their foot out. 3, record 1, English, - gaiting%20strap

... the Waste Collection System(WCS) operates differently from the facilities on Earth. The WCS comprises a commode, a urinal, fan separators, and an odor and bacterial filter. To keep bodies from floating away due to weightlessness, astronauts fasten a seat belt-like strap or lower a bar over their legs and wedge their feet into footholds. Space toilets flush with air instead of water, and the fan helps separate liquids from solids. Liquids are purified and recycled for re-use, just as they are on Earth. Plastic bags inside the commode collect wastes, and are sealed and stored. The WCS also has storage areas for towels, wash cloths, urinal funnels, wet and dry wipes, tissues, disposable gloves, and trash bags. 2, record 2, English, - waste%20collection%20system

Pas question de s'asseoir sur un siège de W.-C. dans l'espace. Tout simplement parce qu'on ne s'assied pas, on flotte ! Donc, il est impératif de se sangler, à la taille comme aux pieds. Ensuite, les matières ne «tombent» pas au fond de la cuvette, pour la même raison, et il est inutile de penser à les évacuer au moyen d'un système de chasse d'eau. C'est donc de l'air qui est utilisé [pour] l'évacuation [des déchets]. Le corps de l'astronaute [...] doit s'adapter [...] sur le dispositif afin d'éviter toute «fuite». [...] Pour uriner, un tube flexible est utilisé. [Ce tube] est raccordé à la partie inférieure des toilettes. Un système d'entonnoir adapté anatomiquement permet aux astronautes des deux sexes d'utiliser les mêmes toilettes. 4, record 3, French, - toilettes
