...maybe it fell ON him.

Likely. I believe you. It doesn't bother me.

...Very thorough analysis, by the way!

fake

Rachel,

That photo is some version of a fake. The kid may indeed be reeling from a kick to the balls, but my guess is someone threw threw the unicycle beside him and snapped a funny photo.

First, that uni is almost as tall as the kid. If he put his foot on a pedal the seat would come up to his sternum. Nowhere near his junk and there is no way this kid was on that uni.

Also, it's on grass. The kid is probably 5 or 6. Riding on grass is REALLY REALLY difficult for kids. I used to teach Unicycle at circus camps and my ten year old kids who were AWESOME on pavement would constantly wipe out on grass because they did not yet have the strength in their legs yet. (14 year olds shred with no problem, btw) There is no way this kid was riding or doing anything on the grass.

Finally, hey everyone likes a good "kick in the balls" joke, but having ridden unicycles for decades and presently I'm doing M-uni and commute around Boston on a 29" KH, I have wracked myself in the balls a total of twice. The fact that my balls are microscopic has little to do with this.

The most common injuries with kids is the pedal whacks them in the shins, or they fall backwards and land on their butt and try break their fall with their hands so injure their wrists.

So funny as this is, it is probably staged in some way or another. Sorry to be a stick in the mud.
