a rail adapter will break if you're already breaking seat posts

What you should do is stop breaking seatposts by improving your technique.
A decent rail adapter shouldn't break... But if they do, buy a Scott Wallis cf base. They're expensive but worth it. That, combined with a thomson seatpost, will be stronger than anything you can throw at it.

I'm going to second this observation. The Wallis CF base is the ultimate upgrade for your unicycle. It negates the need for a rail adapter but gives you all of the freedom of a rail-mounted seat (i.e. adjustable angle). And you're going to break yourself before you even scratch this base.
If you wanna save about $50 you can get yourself a Primo Rod seatpost... it's way heavier than the Thomson but comparable in strength.
just phone darren (bedford unicycles) and get him to make you a thick Chromoly seat post. they are much stronger then regular thin walled seat post. i have seen people break a frame but the seat post didn't bend even slightly... and it was a 22.2mm so a 25.4 would be even stronger. By the way if you want a rail type just get one from darren (bedford unicycles) if you have a standard 4 bolt design seat then get a KH rail type adapter... if you have a mayata style bolt system then get a mayata adapter.
If your doing street you probly wont want a rail adapter, i say get this if you've onlt been bending aluminium posts; http://tinyurl.com/89f8l Its only 10$ US i think
Having broken 7 different seatposts in 7 different ways, i'd highly recommned the Thomson. Really light, really strong, and it has an adjustable angle 😄
Its stood up to a lot of aggressive street and trials riding, and the rail adapter hasn't proven to be a problem at all.
