Okay - here's a scenario....
Your rear wheel (actually, tire) picked up a hitch-hiker, lifted it up and flung it UP and over your back, towards the front of the bike, like a catapult. You, moving forward, hit the pebble on it's way back down.

Hey...it could happen. Right?? Right???
This is actually the scenario that I pondered the most...but I can't believe that the "traction" is enough...and the trajectory is all wrong.

No weather abnormalities, it lacked the "organic matter" that would have accompanied a "bird bomb", no aircraft in the area, no volcanoes within 1,000 miles...I'm flumoxed...Maybe I am CHICKEN LITTLE!!!
