i have. while wearing a helmet both muni and trials, nothing super hard
but enough that it would have sucked without one.

I have, a few times. It's always those little things that shouldn't ever
be a problem, but go weird. Without a helmet I would have at least had
a few good gashes.

Wear a helmet, it might not be very cool, but brain damage is even less
cool. I live in a town that has a mental hospital, and I can tell you,
the people living in the brain injury ward are not exactly in the best
condition. (I know, because I've been in there when delivering purified
water for the store I work in, and you just kinda learn that sorta
stuff when you live in a town that is reffered to as crazy town)

i haven't but i have come quite close to "attempting to put head through
center of a pine tree". Just because you haven't hurt your head yet
don't mean that you wont. it does depends on what kind of riding you
are doing to put yourself in the situation where a head bash will
happen... but if you ride a unicycle and like to have some brain
capacity then you should protect yourself as such.

Yup, doing both Muni and Trials. One was severe enough to put a nice
slice in my skate-style helmet (it didn't crack) and would have
probably cracked my skull without it. I don't ride without.

I may be that if someone has has a really bad head injury whilst
unicycling they may not be able to participate in this forum any more.
It only takes once. That's the whole point.

Cracked my head on a tree. Rode through what looked like leaves from a
branch and knocked my head on the branch. No helmet. Bled a bit.
I once fell off my Coker at low speed and trashed my shoulder. I'd
imagine that at high speed I could have knocked the head. Since that
day I've always worn a helmet while on my Coker..

I hit the back of my head while riding without a helmet, hit a patch of
ice. It hurt lots and made me feel dizzy for the rest of the day.

I've crashed whilst riding my freestyle unicycle on concrete, fallen
off backwards and bashed my head, no helmet cos it was only freestyle
riding.

Riding muni, I've cracked the front of a helmet by falling off into a
tree, I was fine after that, I've fallen off and hit my helmet on the
ground a few times. The only time I've had any problems is once when I
hit hard enough to make me dizzy even through the helmet and needed to
eat loads of sugar in order to get my energy back.

Riding coker I've fallen off and hit my head once, but it didn't hurt
at all, wearing a helmet that time too.

I think the most dangerous thing for head injuries isn't doing trials
and jumpy style muni, it's doing fast xc style muni, because you hit a
rock or a set of roots wrong and you end up flying down a hill at
15mph, whereas if you're taking it controlled and hopping everything,
most falls are low speed.

Looks like it might have been a doozy of a fall.
It plays fine on my PC if I give it an MP4 extension and play it with

Ah man!

That musta hurt! He was absolutely flying! Looks like he ate it pretty
hard! Hope he was ok afterwards!
I have never hit my head that bad. Worst iv done on a uni is going
backwards and hitting a curb. I came off my uni backwards and hit the
deck on my back, head hit the concrete pretty hard, gave me a
headache.

Rock on!

lakasaid, he was out for 3 long minutes, one of the rider even
considered for a short instant to switch to bikes 😄 Now he's totally
fine and he is the best advocate out there for Helmets...

I've hit my head on the ground a few times while unicycling, but nothing
really nasty yet. I've always been wearing a helmet, and some of the
bashes would have hurt had I not been wearing one, but probably not
been life-threatening. There is always potential for nasty head
hittage on the rocks round here though.
I had a face plant caused by a missed mount (foot hooked behind pedal)
on smooth ground, where the front of the helmet hit the ground and
probably saved me from a nose-bleed.
The only time I've ever hit my head _really_ hard was when I was riding
a bike on the road and hit some ice on a corner. I was going pretty
slowly because of the weather, but my head smacked into the ground hard
enough to crack the helmet - I had an aching neck for a couple of days,
but I'm sure if I hadn't been wearing the helmet it would have been far
worse. The same sort of fall could easily happen on a unicycle.

I was hit by a car last year whilst cokering. I was lucky enough to be
wearing a helmet as said helmet punched a hole through the cars'
windscreen. I don't like to think about what shape my head would have
been in sans helmet.
