Kind of similar thoughts to TwentyThree^ really. I came off about a year ago, going too fast, slipping on a tight corner - dislocated my shoulder, impacted my hip, lots of cuts down the side etc etc. It was wet when I fell, and I had cheap 23c tyres and a cheap starter wheelset which I felt was part of the issue, so I bought some decent 28c tyres and wheels from varno when I could afford to. Had a few weeks off the bike, and just took it a bit easier for a while - couldn't turn left as quickly/didn't have the confidence to - but I went back to the same corner to rid the demons, which worked wonders. Safe to say being off the bike was much worse than being on it again!
