What would happen if this seized? http://www.strangevehicles.com/content/item/2814.html

You wouldn't want a puncture on that, spares arn't to easy to get hold of.

What would happen if you slammed the brakes on, would you revolve as well?

Where do you mount the headlight?

No seat belt I don't think slamming on the brakes is an option, unless you want the imprint of 2 air filters on you.

Here's an early version, restored from 1924:
