Is there a good way to fall?

Y'know, just a couple of days ago when they had that big crash in the Dauphinée, I asked DH (who never lets go of the remote ) to replay it in slomo so I could watch the one guy go over the bars. Only because I remember flying through the air in December, and I wanted to see what it looked like.

Was that the cattle crash Oakleaf??

No, a day or two before that. I can't remember exactly what precipitated it, but I think somebody just touched wheels and there was a big pileup then.

I've had my share of spills this last year or so, and try very hard to just hold onto the bars and roll down with the bike. My leg and hip are a lot stronger than my hands/wrist and won't break as easily. Then again, I broke a wrist years ago by trying to break my fall with my hand and I've not done that since then.

Things happen so fast though...

I'll be smarter next time I'm sure.... I hope! Now that my wrist is stronger and the memory of the fall is repressed I'll probably head to the backyard later this week. Wish me luck.
