There was a decade or so when we just bought one of every new EV that was
released for our shop, to play with and do tear-downs and so forth… We got two
electric unicycles during that period, and I was never able to get the hang of
either one of them. One of my guys had been to circuit-performer school, and
could juggle while unicycling and so forth, and he tried, and fell off and
broke his collarbone. He passed one of them on to two of his friends who were
_professional_ circus unicyclists, and they tried them one time, and said they
were deathtraps.
The basic problem being that any accident is under full acceleration, because
the only thing it can do to try to re-balance is to accelerate to try to get
back under you. If you fall faster than it can get under you, it’s plowing you
into whatever’s in front of you, at full acceleration. Or behind you, same
thing.
