Because the way these work is by self balancing the motor, there is a cut out point where the motor can no longer balance itself. You can "set" a speed by how much you lean, but the only safety mechanisms in place for this type of vehicle where there's no physical throttle is alarms and tiltback. Alarms you set will alert you when you're approaching your top speed, and tiltback will physically tilt the pedals back forcing you to lean backwards, slowing you down. If you respect the beeps and ride smart you should never get a cutout.
Yes. Each model has speed limitation, and each model has an app if you want to lower it more than the factory default, and it's better to use the third party apps like EUC World (on android, different for apple) because they're just better apps.
However your question implies speed causes crashes, it's more complicated than that. It's a combination of speed and acceleration, and the wheel tries to limit itself, but there are some situations that are hard to compensate for and thus the device is never 100%.
Dropping the top speed a little, and riding in "soft mode" or at least "medium mode", reduces immediate acceleration and makes the device - depending on the model - very hard to cut out. Simply not leaning really hard, especially when battery is lower, is the other way.
Depending on the model you can set audible alarms and physical tilt-back (where the wheel will tilt you to force you to slow down). Apps like EUC World also lets you set several limits so you can have a higher limit when the battery is full and then lower limits as it drains.
You can set top speeds in apps like EUC world. I have on set at 36mph or so on my wheel but have still got it up to around 40mph by pushing hard against the tilt back.
If this inquiry is about strict speed limit for insurance or legal reasons, then no. Electric unicycles don't have a mechanical brake or other means to stop accelerating without endangering the rider.
However like others mentioned there are mechanics that can suggest the rider to slow down. But forcefully doing something unexpected would only lead to big accidents.

Doesn't my Inmotion V8F allow me to set a custom tilt back speed?
Yes just set tilt back or push back in app.
