Craziest thing you've ever seen (or done) on a unicycle
Personally, the craziest thing I've seen done was long ago while I was in college. At the University of Tampa around 1984/1985 I watched a guy named Spicoli (yes, like in Fast Times at Ridgemont High) do a spectacular stunt. He funneled a beer held by someone riding on his shouders while idling and juggling. Very Impressive!
As for videos, here are the 5 Bertis. They offer lots of Giraffe madness including a flip of a woman onto the shoulders of a giraffe rider (towards the end of the video):

Oddly, sometimes local laws require extra safety stuff in circuses. In New York, Ringling has had to use a net under the tightwire (probably depending on height or audience proximity). Also I remember a case where a big cat act (in a tent circus, not Ringling) was unable to perform because they did not have a cage for it, but the law required it for that area! I remember commenting on that same video in a fairly recent thread, probably with a similar subject. I still like what Reino or Mell Hall did, but I never saw film or video.

The craziest thing I've seen done live was a young chinese boy riding a giraffe unicycle, on a slack rope, while upside down, pedaling with his hands. From memory he was 11 years old. Unfortunately I've never been able to track down video footage of this trick.

Craziest thing I've ever done on a unicycle? Did a fantastic ride, really enjoyed, but didn't film it, so it didn't really happen.
 Never done any fancy tricks; I've always been into exploring and riding it as a vehicle. Crazy things and places: 20 miles on a 20" uni. Riding on the roof of a church tower. (Not a steeple!) Riding on the top of the keep of Warwick Castle. Riding around the balcony of the Ashridge Monument.

I don't trust that guy sitting at the table though, he seems like a nasty piece of work.
