It's crazy how people only noticed that Onewheels are dangerous after a bunch of out of shape tech bros started buying them and treating them like toys. They don't randomly stop, they're just inherently dangerous unless operated correctly.

Thanks for the huge laugh. "Unless operated correctly"... ha! Like that is something anyone can predict. "Tech bro" Casey [0] [1] just did the NY Marathon [2]... he's not out of shape. There are countless more videos on YT too [3] [4]. Heck, there are even little wheels you can buy to kind of try to help with the superman issues. Don't forget ghosting too. No thanks. Enjoy your toy. I hope you don't get hurt.

  I'm sure I could find videos of people falling off of snowboards and bikes too, so I don't find accident compilations particularly compelling. Especially since I can tell you in pretty much every instance exactly what they did wrong. Generally speaking if you don't have a background in boardsports it's probably safest to avoid powered boards altogether, no matter how many wheels they have.

    Certainly, I can find people walking and falling down too. Heck, drinking water can be dangerous if you do it enough. The point, which you're glossing over, is that this is a new company, there is only one of them and they have some seriously dangerous and well documented issues with their product, beyond just using it. Just like the OP's comment that I'm responding to.
