On my way home from college last year I wiped out at aroun 25mph (being cautious) on a downhill, off camber bend with spilt diesel. I remained clipped in and slid about 20 yards down the wrong side of the road (amazingly through a break in the oncoming traffic) on my hip and forearm before bouncing up a kurb and getting it in the squidgy bit between my ribs and hip. Shredded my jeans and hoody, major gravel rash, nicely scratched handlebars, shoes and pedal and a bruised kidney. Wasn't fun.
shit that horrific, and blimmin lucky. i had a similar thing happen, but without the oncoming cars. sheesh..
and Ved, take it easy dude, as well as everyone out there.
Smoothly does it, and whipping around will surly get you hurt.
