Mountain Biking - Lucky escapes

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I had what should have been a pretty bad stack yesterday, but literally walked away from it without even a cut. There's a jump at my local track which I tried for the first time but stacked hard. Friends said I sort of hit the jump weird, on an angle and too fast. So when I was in the air I tried to whip back straight but landed crooked and ended up stacking hard.
Here's a picture of the jump I stacked on, BTW I'm not the rider, that's one of my friends.
So now I want to hear about some crashes you guys have had and walked away virtually uninjured.
I also have another good one. I was going down a DH track at about 50-60Km/h and hit a tiny drop, landed off the track, somehow got back on but then lost it. Went over the bars and I put my arms out and did a ninja roll, grabbed my bike, ripped it off the track just as some other guys behind me came through. Jumped back on my bike and finished the track. At the bottom my friends were like what happened, all they saw was a cloud of dust.
Again I came out of this without a scratch. Must be because I've stacked so many times that I have become the master of stacking.
