Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

I don't think i'd be as inept to go over my handle bars,

I did it just the other week, when a cyclist turned at the last minute right into my path. Was quite fun in a masochistic kind of way :)

So stop being so conservative. And there's no need to labour the point. We can all accept liberal view points around here.
