What a lot of people overlook (until it happens to you) is joints. If you get an injury near or in your knees, elbows etc. the risk of infection and complication increases massively.
You can of course die from the shock of loss of skin too.
Especially at this time of year you should be prepared for a low speed lowside at least. Otherwise you're not really trying 🙂
