I used to ride a Onewheel. Another case where they need to show people using safety devices more. Some of their ads show people with helmets. You really need wrist guards too. A lot of the more intense riders I've met tend to be wearing motorcycle gear.

The real hidden danger of a One Wheel is if you're a non goofy footed rider in a bike lane. You're front is towards the side walk/parked cars, and your back is towards traffic in countries that drive on the right. I've been clipped by a car turning right who didn't see me and he was in my blind spot (directly behind my head).

There is actually a non Future Motion (Onewheel maker) maker of a similar device called the Trotter. It seems more companies prefer to make things in the ECU factor which is fair.
