I broke my pelvis and elbow while learning to ride a OneWheel+. I overcame the motor’s resistance when attempting to accelerate from a low speed and went flying off the front. Recovery was rough, but not the end of the world.

I still ride the thing. Mostly trail riding; I find the concentration required doesn’t mix well with bumpy streets.

I’ve also had injuries snowboarding and doing other sports.

The recall thing makes sense, but offering $100 to destroy a $1700 toy seems kind of lame.
