When you hop off try to almost start to do a back rev so that there is some pressure on the foot that is staying on the pedal. Then you just have to keep that foot from moving too far. Then of course there is the landing, that is where I have problems, I can get my foot back on the unicycle but when I do the unicycle ends up ahead of me and when I land I end up sacking myself. It is for that reason that I no longer practice them and have learned grinds instead.
