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.

I saw some video of it in use not too long ago, and stopping was a real big problem. Balance too, as it crashed pretty badly. Other versions of this
rig included outrigger style wheels for safety.
Here's an early version, restored from 1924:
