What kind of injuries occur?
Fortunately, unicycling is relatively safe. However, riders and helpers can expect occasional bruises on their legs, which occur when the pedal hits them. Some riders use shin guards. Also, while riders most often come off the unicycle and land on their feet, it is possible to fall on your hands. Some riders wear wrist guards. Riding a unicycle is different from riding a bike. Unicycle riders are upright, rather than bent forward. While bike helmets are important for some kinds of unicycling, normal riding usually does not represent a serious threat of head injuries, as is true of biking. Riders often experience soreness in their knees. Often, this is a result of having their unicycle seat too low, so the legs arent extended while pedaling, which causes more stress on the knees. The soreness usually goes away after adjusting the seat and becoming more accustomed to riding.
