At 10mph (a more likely speed for this 2.5hp board), worst case, I jump off and run-stop (or roll)... twisted ankle/etc is possible. But at $1200 a piece, I'd really regret the loss/damage that might cause the to the board.

I value my ankles and epidermis at several dozen times "$1200 a piece". I consider your stance to be the utter epitome of foolishness.
