In this country, any frivolous lawsuit is possible. Shattering your
elbow because your unicycle unscrewed on you while you were riding it
normally has happened, and probably could be actionable. I'm not
recommending this, but potential customers should be aware of
threaded-on sprockets if they have them.

I think I have one on my 9-footer (old Schwinn Giraffe hub). Not sure at
the moment, I'd have to look. In any case, I give the cycle a thorough
test, while holding onto something, before every ride. This one only
gets used in the occasional parade, so not many miles get put on it, but
those miles are high up in only semi-controlled situations.
