I was just thinking, has anyone died in a unicycle related accident?
I've seen lots of pretty bad wrecks and all, but nothing anymore
serious then a broken bone or more.

As far as i know, there hasn't been anything unicycle related deaths,
which is really good in my opinion =p but if anyone out there knows of
one or two, please tell, or say what you think about it.

Some of the stuff I've seen, mainly Kris riding on skinnies, if you
fell, the chances of death are very high, or some of the drops from
doing trials, land those wrong and you can seriously injure yourself :(
So lets see what all you have to say about this =p

I'm with irvinegr.

I think there was a thread about this kind of thing a long time ago,
but the search function doesn't seem to work very well for me. i'll
try a domain-specific Google search.

Here's the whole search result:

Yeah, if you want to do a Google search for just a specific site use the
"site:[site_here]" thingy and then your search criteria.

For example, I wrote:
"site:unicyclist.com unicycle related deaths"
(minus the quotation marks, but you already knew that) for my search.

If I recall, when this thread came up before, even the inestimable John
"God of Unicycling" Foss hadn't heard of a uni-related death that
anyone could corroborate.

I'm always telling people that I don't want to go down in history as
the first uni death. For that matter, I don't want to be the second,
third, and so on.

I have a bad feeling that a uni-related death isn't too far away due to
the amazing (and terrifying) things people now attempt on unicycles. I
have the same dread that California isn't going to be around too much
longer in its current geographical state due to the San Andreas fault.

So John Foss could be the first person to die while unicycling if he
happens to be riding when the 'Big One' hits. Get out of there while
you can, John!!!

Faults tend to change landscape on geologic time. If you want to worry
about geographical changes on a human time scale, worry about Manhattan
being underwater due to global warming.

It might, but I would not recommend trying it. Althought there has
been some temptation on my part to occassionally try it.
Just think of the headlines!
It wouldn't look to good for unicyclist around the world.

Scott Kurland ran over several squirrels with his Coker (on separate
occasions), and killed them in the process.

Unrelatedly, Scott is the only person in the world known to me to have
learned riding a unicycle on a Coker. Jayne ZA tried to be the second.
