You know why these falls are always 'slow motion', it's because the brain goes into freak out mode in an accident and generates a second memory of the event, so looking back, even a split second later, because there's more for the brain to recall, the event seems to have taken ages. I think. I was hit by a car last night and came off. Same thing. I'm going thru it in my mind now and thinking i had about 5 seconds to get out of the way, like the steamroller victim in the Austin Powers film. I digress.
