Why Does It Crash Like This? 

Board has limits, some people learn it the hard way. I had too haha.❤

Alternate title: How to make your friends death look like an accident

This happened to me. Fractured my arm, skinned my palms and elbow raw. Not a fun time. It took me few years before I got the nerve to ride again. Now I have the utmost respect for the pushback!

Onewheel: “You’re having too much fun, how bout a face full of rock?”

"You good?" onewheel- " hell naw I aint good man! big man just busted me up, I tried to warn him!"

I had so many friends that got these when they came out and they all signed each other's casts like true friends

Basically the wheel spins just fast enough to offset your forward balanced stance, when the wheel reaches max speed and you are still leaning forward… this happens.

“You good?” Yeah I’m sure he’s fine. After all asphalt is soft as a pillow

Just a little free tattoo removal

Ironic how push back is a safety feature yet its the reason why so many ppl get injured

Fun fact: Orthopedic surgeons love the Onewheel, money in the bank.

Remind yourselves that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

What kind of safety feature is that?

That man’s skin on his arms and elbows: *”Aight, Imma head out”*

Best part of a helmet is it comes with a little strap so you can leave it dangling under your chin. Looks real cool when you hit the ground

Anyone riding a skateboard respects the speed wobble, and learns to roll. Slamming hurts more than rolling!

Jesus the anxiety knowing what was coming!

One wheel: Hey you’re going fast so imma slow you down ok. Him: Nah One wheel: *AIGHT BET*

Yeah it was clearly telling him to slow down. Scariest thing for me was bombing this massive hill and I guess the battery recharged all the way and shut off. I was balancing on my own for another 50 feet and hit Un even pavement and flew off. Had a super deep gash on my knee. I wear pads now lol living around a ton of hilly terrain is dope but you gotta check your battery levels frequently.

Glad the One Wheel is ok. Such a durable product

Props to the camera man flying beside him in creative mode

Twas the most "you good" betrayal of all timr

Longtime Onewheel rider here. Several considerations: 1) He's on a PINT, which is the smallest version they make while 2) he's on the heavier side WITH a backpack AND 3) he's IGNORING The "pushback" the board is using to tell him to slow down just before the crash. That's WHY the board is tipping up at the last few seconds...

He got lucky! Had this happen to me a month ago. The sign I was carrying broke before my ribs did so ended up with a few bruised ribs and a bunch of road rash. These thing’s deserve respect!

That seems like the most unsafe safety feature ever.

You even gave him the pushback warning.. ouch! Glad he's okay.

... love it... A warning and a consequence that cause a wreck, all to avoid a wreck.

In this vehicle, the bumper is only installed after you get on it.

You good? No!

The Dodge Viper of portable transportation.

He a actually handled the wipeout well. Most of us lay out flat the first time. He had the sense to slide on one side.

I had something similar happen. In my case, I was pushing 25mph. I had already reached a max of 28mph and felt comfortable riding through push back. Unfortunately I only weigh 135lb and one of the frontpad sensors wasn't registering that I was on it. I was listening to music and talking on the phone so I didn't hear the warning sound, and eventually the whole thing just shut off on me while on a bike path next to cars. I rode the nose for about 2 seconds and then fell and slid in a Superman flying pose for about 10 feet forward. I have Flight Fins on my Onewheel that caught on my backfoot and broke my big toe. Had gnarly roadrash on both my forearms as well. I ended up getting a medical boot and riding the Onewheel for about another two weeks after, even rode about 40 miles in a span of 2 days during this time period. With the boot on, it felt just like snowboarding. I eventually stopped to take a break and heal. I had my toe checked out about 3 months later just to confirm it was broken. I finally rode my Onewheel again this past weekend. I put little pads that you put on the feet of furniture on the front footpad where the sensors are located to avoid the same issue and it's worked perfectly. I now ride at 20mph or less.

Owner of One Wheel: "Man I hate people who speed and are reckless, I know how to fix that >:]" One Wheel:

There seems to be a lot of confusion in the comments as to why it doesn't just slow you down. The board balances you on top of it, and if it slows down without you leaning back, you will go flying off the front anyway.

Respect pushback. Understand how the board works. Know your limits. Be aware of the terrain and temp. Etc. But dude, that's a Onewheel Pint. That thing experiences pushback at 16-18 for my 115 pound child-body. Glad you're wearing a helmet! Hope all is okay!

Had one. Push back at 30 kph then I became a human lawn dart. Sold it when my dislocated shoulder healed.

One minute... can someone explain to me the proper way to stop on that thing

This was my buddy. He took the fall pretty good. Only a few scrapes! We were going about 17mph

To clarify - The pushback is a warning - The Gyroscope is limited by how much force it can physically generate. i.e. size of the wheel. So going faster means gyro is unable to counter balance.

Seems like a cool safety feature lol

i heard nose dive and thought he was gonna fall straight down onto his face

You mean to tell me that this thing will wipe you out on purpose?

Onewheel actually has that pushback feature THEN it has the “get the fuck off me” feature

that's why when you skate outdoors, always, I mean always put your gears on. No matter what skill level you're at. The possibility of falls is always going to be there. The faster you go, the higher the impact. Falling on a rough concrete at high speeds and impact is really painful. better look "uncool" than going to the hospital and risking a lot of time not being able to skate again or never again. Plus, when you have your gears on, there's a bit of confidence boost. knowing you can take a fall safely.

Am I the only one still waiting for the nose dive 🤔🤔🤔

Oh come on, that aint a nose dive

Hands and head: “Don’t fuck me up” Elbows and knees: “It’s free real estate”

Ah yes the one wheel, the new age motorized wheelies (shoes, look them up)

Wait, so the one wheel will intentionally crash itself as a “safety feature”?

I was so certain i was going to be disappointed by this video but it actually delivered, thank You

Damn, homie was ready for it, he knew what about to happen all geared up and ready so we can learn. It was a much more graceful fall than my full blown wipe out lmao.

*”Oh, you think you’re fast, aye? Let’s see what pushback has to say about that.”*

a better more catchy title for this video would be how to kill a friend

Nosedives on a onewheel is by far the most painful experiences I've had. And I've skated, snowboarding, and any extreme sport. Im still healing from a crash on my foot which happened 3 weeks ago.

"You good?" I think he lost a tattoo after that.

One wheel: your going too fast, you might get injured Also one wheel: I’m gonna go ahead and stop you right there

Why would it not just slow down wtf

I know exactly where this is

Thanks for the video. The pushback seems pretty obvious and hard to ignore. I was worried I might hit the speed limit without noticing, but it honestly seems like this crash can only happen if you are willfully reckless. I just bought my OneWheel from a dude that broke his arm after ignoring the pushback.

Even with safety measures, people ignore them!

The skin on that guys elbow: My friends, this is where my journey comes to an end.

I love when someone get hurt and the other person says, you good?

Alternative title : OneWheel braces for class action lawsuit.

Wow ✨️ As a Digial Nomad & part-time VanLifer on the 'thick-side', i need one of these for sure! Thanks for sharing😊

Skateboards have the same safety feature its called the "death wobble".

That's a clever design, sort of forcing you to lean back before the motor bottoms out

Lol he was excited got cocky and fell😂 good video!

God, having a helmet but no elbow pads is like having a car with airbags but no seatbelts. Ooooh that gave me goosebumps

Grinding your skin on the asphalt is an easy way to remove a tattoo.

Watching people fall while walking on a treadmill is highly contagious , soon as I laughed I busted my shyt 💀😂💀

Yesterday, I started going faster than I had before, downhill, and on rocky asphalt. I lost my balance and flew off the board. Even through my jacket I scraped my arm really hard and now there’s a giant scab scrape thing there. I also managed to get it all on video cause I was just trying to film the scenery.

(Wearing no elbow pads.) (Lands directly on elbows.) "You good?" XD

Guy on the left: ("Hey I think you ought to slow down..") "Be careful, (you're gonna faceplant)" Guy on the right: "Screw your warning. I choose death!"

The good old nose dive is a right of passage. You become a better rider after it happens. Respect your board. 🍻

It's funny. You can tell the commenters that have never ridden. They think the nosedive is the 'safety feature'. They don't see the nose lifting (pushback) that preceded the nosedive that he clearly ignored and pushed through. For those that don't understand, the motor can only spin so fast with so much power. If you attempt to accelerate to a speed beyond it's limit/power, it keeps just a little extra in reserve. I last ditch boost of power to lift the front end and tell you to show. Not only do you feel it, but it actually makes continued acceleration awkward since your foot it lifting instead of dropping like normal. But, if you push through anyway, it eventually can't keep up and nosedives. 🤷

Gotta love how he barely tries to warn him and knew exactly what was gonna happen.. lmfao

Too many people think pushback is what causes the board to fail. The board keeps you up by speeding up when you lean forwards. That wheel only has so much torque before it gives out so the pushback kicks in when its starting to reach that limit. You can actually ride a little faster than pushback but if you do you have to accept the chances you end up on the floor are almost guaranteed. The red line for your RPM in a car isnt what blows up the engine its the warning and its similar with pushback

I love the latest update on the Onewheel, which is the vibration and beeping noise when the board begins to push back. Helps me know when to cool it

Like a wise man once said “Put it in reverse Terry”

2250 miles on my pint. I keep it under 11 always. When I started I was cocky. Got it to 21.2mph, and then crashed. Have not gone above 11 since.

How many inventions will they make to avoid just riding a skateboard. We got scooters, hover boards, one wheels...

Those speed wobbles came and it was game over lol

Why so many “what a great safety feature” comments? The safety feature is the nose rising but he pushed it back down

So. First, we had cars, with 4 wheels Then, motorcycles with 3 wheels Then a more light version with 2 wheels Now we got a 1 wheel This means that the next step is those boards that we saw of "back to the future"

In control systems, this is known as saturation. The motor can only spin so fast. It is one of the most dangerous phenomena in nonlinear control systems, and a similar thing happened at Chernoble

This man unfortunately will be the poster child for onewheel nosedives.

Never ignore the pushback no matter how experienced you are at riding.

This is exactly how I broke my arm riding a hover board. If it goes to fast it straight up turns off, so the auto balance thing turns off and you fall.

Yeeeeep. Tore my ACL right on my first ride - after that overconfidence kicked in. It’s an entirely different ride, and honestly one of the more ‘dangerous’ emobility products out there. That said, they ARE a blast though….

That's one way for self sabotaging: "hey if you go too fast you're gonna get into an accident! Here let me show you how"

When someone asks "you good?" Before the pain actually starts

I ignored pushback once, never shall I do it again. It took weeks for the skin on my hands to grow back

A lot of people don't seem to understand that they can't simply make the board slow down or stop accelerating without the rider flying off anyways. Pushback just tells you that you are going too fast, it didn't actually throw him off. He fell off because he kept accelerating, and it couldn't handle the speed anymore.

I've seen this video among many others regarding the pushback before getting my pint and I can say, you can't ignore it unless you really try to. The ride just feels so smooth most of the time that the pushback is a big contrast.

This happened to me on my first time! 🤣 People keep asking why it doesn’t slow you down, but that’s not possible so it does pushback to tell you to slow down manually

the guy who inventes the push back system mustve been like "well if they dont listen then i *want* them to die"

Just ordered one with the holiday deal. Definitely taking note of all the warning videos I’m seeing and preparing to be cautious

I did this in this exact order and snapped my collar bone. It was fun😂

The angel on his shoulder said, “watch the pushback.” The octane on his other shoulder said, “faster, faster, faster!!!”

OneWheel: "If you keep up with this speed you'll crash" Rider: "Shut up board..." OneWheel: "Okay that's it... I'm killing you before you kill both of us... I'll just call it "push-back" when the cops show up"
