i've done the "forget to tighten the front wheel QR and lose the wheel over a bump" thing. went straight over the handlebars at 25km/h and cracked my helmet into 3 pieces. Ten minutes earlier i'd ridden down a massive hill and hit a maximum speed of 88km/h... lucky it didn't drop out then!
spent a couple of hours in hospital, and haven't made the same mistake since.
