Depending on how hard you come down on your hands, you're quite likely to break your collarbone anyway. One thing I can say is wear gloves! If you do go down better to have your gloves take the sliding on the tarmac than your palms as hippy said, and, as I found the other day, the one day I chose not to wear gloves as well..
