Well, I would strongly recommend you get a bike helmet or some sort of
head protection. If your son is light it won't be a problem, but if
he's big, you may get fatigued, which is the real danger. Your biggest
danger is falling face forward, and if that is unchecked the angular
momentum will throw your son's head on the pavement.
I would say go for it, but make him wear a helment and have a spotter
catch him if you fall. It doesn't really matter how good a unicylist
you are, it's not worth it to have a head injury when you're young.
