It's very hard to fall on your face on a unicycle. I'm actually learning how to ride one now, and although it's not easy to do "simple" things like turn, go backwards, or even stay in one place, it's very easy to fall off safely -- you just step off the unicycle. Unlike a bike, there's nothing in the way. When I fall forward, it's basically like I stepped off, and continue walking. There's nothing to think about; you just put your foot in the direction you're falling and stand up. In all my learning, from beginner to semi-beginner (I can go forward and slowly turn, but that's it), I've fallen worse than onto my feet once. This, of course, assumes it doesn't run out of power at 20 mph, which the manufacturers say it won't.
