I've had a Pint X myself, and I kind of agree with the public notice. They're quite dangerous, and if you do decide to get one, make sure you have at least a helmet.
Another thing of note, while you might think the Pint and Pint X are more nimble and easier to ride around on, surprisingly the larger ones are. The form factor is nicer, being smaller, but nearly as stable or as easy to ride as the bigger ones. This is especially true when on anything but smooth pavement. The Pint X ride on dirt or grass just isn't very stable. Personally, if I were to get one again, it'd be a larger one.
I've been riding very carefully, but I can attest that it only takes a split second of inattention to crash badly. Even a small bump in the road or uneven pavement can throw you off balance.
My latest crash happened at literally 0 speed, and it threw me onto my back, resulting in four weeks of pain. Immediately after that, I told my wife I was done with this.
Before anyone questions my capabilities, I want to clarify that I'm an avid skier, biker, and kite surfer. I feel confident in my muscle coordination for sports, but riding a OneWheel involves many unpredictable risk factors.

Before anyone comment on my capabilities, I'm an avid skier, biker, kite surfer and feel pretty about using muscle coordination for sports, but this riding on OneWheel involve lots of risk factors which are hard to predict.
