i have. while wearing a helmet both muni and trials, nothing super hard
but enough that it would have sucked without one.

I have, a few times. It's always those little things that shouldn't ever
be a problem, but go weird. Without a helmet I would have at least had
a few good gashes.

Wear a helmet, it might not be very cool, but brain damage is even less
cool. I live in a town that has a mental hospital, and I can tell you,
the people living in the brain injury ward are not exactly in the best
condition. (I know, because I've been in there when delivering purified
water for the store I work in, and you just kinda learn that sorta
stuff when you live in a town that is reffered to as crazy town)

i haven't but i have come quite close to "attempting to put head through
center of a pine tree". Just because you haven't hurt your head yet
don't mean that you wont. it does depends on what kind of riding you
are doing to put yourself in the situation where a head bash will
happen... but if you ride a unicycle and like to have some brain
capacity then you should protect yourself as such.

Yup, doing both Muni and Trials. One was severe enough to put a nice
slice in my skate-style helmet (it didn't crack) and would have
probably cracked my skull without it. I don't ride without.

Loose.

I may be that if someone has has a really bad head injury whilst
unicycling they may not be able to participate in this forum any more.
It only takes once. That's the whole point.
