I was clipped by a car and my front brake somehow got caught on the car or was knocked off by the force. The brake lever broke and came off my handlebars, but was still attached to the brake cable and front caliper. The cable with broken lever swings down and hits my spokes. A split second later, I endo over the front my bicycle. I tuck and roll and land on my shoulder. Dislocated it.
All of this happened in one second, but I still see the sequence of events in my mind years later. Rather frightening.
