PLEASE tell us he was wearing a helmet and it just isn't very visible in
the shot...
The ambulance in the background is very appropriate.

That is so cool. The limits of what a person can do on a unicycle are
still being pushed hard. I'm looking forward to the first back flip
attempt. I still think it would have to be easier.

My guess is that he's not wearing a helmet for the best reason known.
He didn't want to. Personal choice and personal responsibility...take
them or have them taken away. You go, Reece.

I would guess a helmet would be no good in a frontflip injury, if you
pile down onto the ground head first, having a helmet isn't going to do
anything to help your neck / back. You don't often see tumblers /
acrobats wearing helmets after all.

That is pretty awesome, and I guess Harper is right, it is his own fault
if something goes wrong and he isn't wearing a helmet.

Who was wearing the KUA shirt?

The helmet is less neccisary since he has two spotters.

I'm amazed.
