@flix123 My crash was definitely not related to pushing too hard or going uphill. And: everyone I know here in my local community who rides a OW has crashed due to sudden shutdown. That's just simply too much of a likelihood. I am not going to stop riding and just ordered my fangs, but I am really hoping for a solution from FM very soon. Thanks!

@scott_pdx Hi Scott, yes, I know what a pushback feels like as I have experienced that before when trying to push the board to high speed. This time there was no pushback- all I could feel was an "elastic" surge forward and then the shutdown. I am running 4208.

@kd6tav Difficult to remember because I had just crashed hard, but I think I had to turn the board back on to get home.

@sidjtd I am not sure how realistic it is to pull off a rescue move with flight fins or fangs, it seems to me that the sudden complete loss of power in the board is what launches me into the air. But it could be that rolling a bit on the glider wheels or fangs even without power from the board makes the deceleration more manageable and you can actually ride it out. I think you may be right, I'll give it a try. thanks

@carvingUSA thank you for pointing out the Glider wheels. I'll definitely look into that. And to me it doesn't seem that far fetched that a kids hits his/her head and dies as a result of nosedive given the nature and force of my crashes. Thanks again!

Was going pretty fast yesterday, around 15 mph, on a relatively flat bike path. My XR briefly felt like it was accelerating unexpectedly and then completely shut down, launching me onto the pavement. This is the third time my board has thrown me off, the other two times were going uphill.

Whatever this limitation of the board is needs to be resolved by Onewheel ASAP. This is a very serious health hazard and a risk that the rider shouldn't be expected to assume.

There need to be other measures implemented to slow the board down or to warn the rider before a sudden, unexpected shutdown! A gradual decrease in speed with some audible signal maybe? Shutting down is NOT a solution.

Seems to me that this "limitation" of the board to throw riders off not only poses health risks to the riders, but substantial legal exposure to the manufacturer.

I love my OneWheel but I'm not sure it's entirely safe to ride it in the current state of technology.
