Eek! That sounds sore. I went over on a wet manhole cover once. I was so busy looking out for lemming pedestrians - some of whom were wearing very short skirts - I didn't see the metal circle and started to lean when I was right on the top of it. It's funny, all I could think about when I was going down was how bloody stupid I was going to look. Of course, I was on a mountain bike with slicks at the time, so anyone who noticed me before I fell would have clocked me as a total pillock, anyway. :-)
Is your bike OK?
