The only time I've broken a limb cycling was through one of those top tube seats. My son decided to dangle his legs in front of the front wheel because it "looked like a fan". He then managed to get his foot jammed in the wheel which locked against the fork and stopped the bike dead, flipping us both over the handle bars. I grabbed him and put out an arm out to break the fall - bust my elbow. Luckily he was wearing a helmet otherwise he would have face-planted the road - he got away with a scuffed nose - the only bit of his face protruding beyond the lip of the lid.
Bless 'em...
