What are you considering Unicorn?
Small, early stage companies (say <100 employees, <250m valuation) that high profile investors are competing to get in on? If so, most of them are supposed to fail. The money is still small by systemic standards and so are the number of people affected. Volatility here is not dangerous, it's expected.
Or, are you talking about the Unicorns expected to go public any day now? The Ubers and AirBnBs? Thee are also kind of retrospectively Unicorns at this stage. If these guys go under, that's a problem. But, these guys aren't rely reliant on investor sentiment.
