How do lose your balance when
pulling down on something above you though?

This part does seem realistic: a 2-legged person can train to remain standing on 1 leg, while a 1-legged person can also train to remain standing on 1 leg, but in either case they are accustomed to either having or not having that extra weight, so changing would be an unusual situation:
1) a 2-legged person who recently loses a leg should find it harder to balance
2) a 1-legged person who recently gains a leg should fine it harder to balance
Neither should be impossible though, since people learn to balance with different load %s all the time, it could be soft-capped w/ penalties.

If it's a no-joint peg leg (ie Wirt's leg being a literal club in diablo 2) then yes, though on 2nd thought if the knee joint has mobility it might function more like a flail?

as compared to a kick?
funny now that I think of it there doesn't seem to be an equivalent to 'hammer fist' for attacks w/ leg where you can take 'hurting yourself' ratio of 1/10 instead of 1/5
