When riding a OneWheel I always wear my basic protection. As this still is a piece of tech and you are riding low to the ground at speeds up to 30km/h or more there is always a possibility that the machine will throw you to the ground. You want to be prepared for that impact. For me a helmet and wrist guards are the minimum protection I wear when I ride out on my OneWheels. Better safe than sorry!

When buying safety gear for board sports always do some research on the effectiveness and on the materials they use because some companies have managed to create protection that makes riding even more dangerous.
