Not really anywhere near Akron. -

@yommoto -- Nice to hear of another Onewheel rider in Northeast Ohio.

RE: An Ounce (a few grams) of Prevention
@notsure -- How're you doing a after a couple of days now?
I'm curious, too, what gear you were wearing? And whether it prevented or mollified some of the injury?

RE: An Ounce (a few grams) of Prevention
@notsure -- Very scary when air won't go either in or out of lungs.

RE: Playing with numbers
@lia -- The screenshot ranking of 101 came from April 8, 2024, a couple hours after the few minutes of cool and dark, total eclipse here in Northeast Ohio -- the total eclipse also moon-shadowed a path across much of North America.

RE: An Ounce (a few grams) of Prevention
Twice bloodying the same knuckles on my leading hand (a couple years apart), I have come up with a solution. An old Triple Eight knee pad with one elastic strap wrapped around my wrist and wrist guard covers the knuckles nicely without interfering with finger movement.
After this latest fall, too, I am stuffing a CE level 1 pad under the knee/shin guard I that wear right on my leading hip. That should take care of the mild soreness I have noted there after each fall. I also put an extra CE level 1 pad in the shoulder -- even though I have not felt any soreness there. A couple years back I added an extra pad at the leading elbow.
Why a chest bruise (left, leading teat) on this most recent fall, and how to protect against it? -- I have no idea. The one time I cracked ribs was from landing on an EGO battery in a shoulder bag -- now, I no longer carry a shoulder bag or a backpack.
And although I have never injured an ankle in a Onewheel fall, I have taken to wearing a child's knee pad on the outside of my leading ankle -- partly because I attached a flashing red bike light to it, for moving visibility while bicycling on the rural roads. That and fear of ever being laid-up with a shattered ankle.
My goal is to be able to fall hard -- and laugh with no injuries! It has happened more than once!

RE: Whys of Falls
@theadman -- That was on a Onewheel Plus. Crashed at 25; no crash at 24.6 mph. All that summer I AVERAGED over 20 mph. Lately, I barely edge into the twenties.

@biell -- Is that you on the Onewheel Plus Leaderboard for mileage? -- Nice to share the board with you!

RE: Whys of Falls
@sirgu -- I figure, if I am writing the post I must be reasonably whole. True, I am sore; somehow I bruised my chest. Breathing is easy, though, so no cracked ribs. Thank goodness I am serious about wearing full armor! I got up, mounted again, and rode away.
