I was just wondering if anyone has ever died due to this fine establishment of a sport we call unicycling. Not happened-to-have-died-whilst-owning-a-uni i mean actually dieing due to riding a unicycle (where if they hadn’t of been riding at that moment they could of safely be presumed to be living).
No, it’s been discussed before, I don’t think there have been any unicycling related deaths. I sometimes wonder when the first will be.
All these people riding on train tracks there should be one soon 
maybe we need to sacrifice someone.
I volunteer you!
I accept. Where do we do this? I’d say the leap of faith if it was still around, but maybe I could hop off a cliff.
You have to grind down the Eiffel tower!

Too late. I think he’s on a train to Paris already.
Someone with crazy search-fu might be able to dig a certain thread up - it was about a young man who was struck by a car and killed whilst riding his unicycle and listening to his iPod. I don’t remember where, or even when. It was months ago, possibly more than a year. Extremely unfortunate.
That’s as close as it gets to a unicycle-related death right now.
when i die, it will be on my 20" learner unicycle.
I will be like 80 and say to my loved ones, goodbye all i am going to a better place then begin to ride off into the sun set.
just when i am almost out of sight i will die and fall over
Don’t you mean fall over and die?
Very romantic, by the way:D
Very western-ish
yes i did thing about that sequence for a while but decided it would not be as painfull on myself if i was to die first, before falling onto the hard cold ground.
lol heaps western, i am imagining those blowy tumbleweeds
Hehe thats what I was thinking^^. That would be awsome though like just picture an 80 year old riding off into the sunset cactus off to the left tumbleweeds a blowing all on a shitty bent crank uni. But I would do it on a 12 inch wheel and an IV stand with a nurse folowing me.
Thats the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard"
While wearing a little red riding hood?
lol.
sigh
Have you jumped that stair set yet? i havnt had time to uni for about two weeks, hopefully work will cool off after christmas.
I’m going to die in a high speed chase on my unicycle it will end with me take the biggest bail in the world, falling down some rocky cliff, and finsh with me laying at the buttom of the cliff drawning in my own blood with my uni under my broken arm that lays lifes on it as if i’m trying to hug it for the last time.
Sounds painful but well could be fun
Eww.
But what you’re describing is probably one of the more likely ways for unicyclists to die these days, by falling off cliffs. We didn’t used to ride next to cliffs; that’s a relatively recent activity.
A guy once told me a story about a stage performer dying in a dismount, but I later learned that this guy was a professional teller of tall tales. Since I never heard this story from anyone else I have to doubt it. But the concept is sound. Guy on tall unicycle (maybe 8’) going to dismount at end of performance. Rolls wheel out to his rear, but it hits an obstruction that brings it to a full stop as he’s halfway down. Sudden stop of the seat sends a shock up his spine, supposedly dropping him, with a broken back/spinal cord, into the front of the audience. Ouch. Something to keep in mind when dismounting those giraffes!
