More projecting... Bikeforums is nothing if not predictable. I don't want a cookie, I just want you to understand that it is not inevitable. Other things that are often considered inevitable are getting hit by a car and breaking a collarbone, yet there are plenty of people that manage to make it through life without those things happening.

I've fallen off my bike plenty of times. Hit by cars, accidents in races, I've even run into things or off the road on my own, and broke my collarbone doing it. I've just never fallen because I forgot I was clipped in or couldn't figure out how to stop (on a bike anyway, I fell pretty bad once when I couldn't figure out how to stop while skiing )

Does that make me better than anyone else? No, I don't think so. Does it make me unique? Not particularly... certainly in the minority but with plenty of company.
