Once while mountain biking, I heard a loud buzzing in my helmet on a descent through some woods, causing me to take a hand off the bars in a panicked attempt to swat it.
All this just while my front wheel left the ground over a lip.
Piled into a tree at a descent pace, shoulder first, then lay there thinking I'd broken a rib for a minute or so. Limped down the hill and marveled at my stupidity.
