I recently flew off a normal bicycle because someone spilled oil or something in the middle of a roundabout. The helmet has a large dent, broke my arm.

I'd need full motorcycle gear before I try a monowheel/Onewheel/etc.

Make sure you dispose of that helmet properly. They are not designed to survive crashes and are considered a consumable in such events.

Replace the helmet anyway. I’m fairly certain even a used helmet beats having nothing on your head.

Some manufacturers also offer replacement plans/incentives.
