I believe I also lost my rear wheel on Sunday, passing a parked car on a bend and then swerving out of the way of an oncoming car that I hadn't seen. I generally like to give a wide berth to parked cars so maybe I was too far over but not sure what exactly happened.
Seems I saved the bike by landing on my forearms and face, which knocked me out. I've got a fractured radial head (elbow) and some scrapes and a black eye. No pain at all.
