  4. How do you keep going on an impossible wheel. I've only seen people
    mount it by rolling it and jumping on. But they've all been in a room so
    they never had to go all the way down a street.

  6. is it as easy to hurt yourself as it looks? i mean, what happens when
    you fall? you run out of it, or you sprain an ankle and die a slow
    painful death?

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
    labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

    Well, if you're not lucky the wheel shoots out in front of you and you
    land (very quickly) flat on your tailbone and flat on your back. If
    you're lucky after that you're only nursing a sore tailbone for the next
    week. And that's if you're lucky. I've seen it happen. Ouch!

  9. you say that it is too dangerous, but isnt what you do on a unicycle
    also dangerous?

    to the rest of you who wonder how dangerous it is: it isnt that
    dangerous as long as you either know how to roll out of a fall, or can
    sense when you are falling, and jump off and run with it. and I start
    off on a hill, and just mount like you would a unicycle. after that, its
    pretty easy to maintain balance.
