Today I found the pendulum pedals and though that they would be perfect for a unicycle.
The main point of those pedals is that they always stay in the good side and that they are super grippy since your shoe bends in the empty middle, having more contact with the pins on the border.
I think that they would be super handy for street riding since you could grind with the side that doesn’t have pins and at the moment of doing a trick and getting the feets back to the pedals, they would always be horizontal.
They would also be great for muni, though probably not make that big of a improvement, and terrible for trial since you need grip on both sides of the pedals, opposite to street.
Hope they get cheap over the time so I can afford them.
I wouldn’t want to get my toes caught in the hole after landing a trick. Yikes!

I don’t know it because you have the big hole in the middle of the pedal. I mean, is it stable enough to withstand a high drop? This pedal is also very thin and I have had bad experiences with thin pedals because they break very quickly. This year I also broke a Wellgo MG-1 pedal and I dropped it a maximum of 50 cm and it broke after 7 years of use in the Muni area.

But the Pedals are a good idea but too expensive.
From the price I want to think that they are very strong. But for me the main point of these pedals is the pendulum movement. If they are strong enough with the hole they can keep them like that, but if it came to be an issue they could just launch another version with the middle reinforced, which would be also better for doing tricks.

That is a great idea. 
Strings are indeed a very interesting thought. You could even adapt them to any given season, or specific purposes…

Interesting pedal idea. If someone does use them I’d like to know how they fare for unicycling.
Seems pretty unlikely to work well for unis. We abuse our pedals a lot more than bikes do, because they’re often hitting the ground with sideways force. Short-axle pedals with open parallelogram platforms often see the parallelogram legs break; with no support out there I can’t imagine these would survive repeated falls on rock or concrete.
