Luckily, I landed on my wrists in front of me (a little martial arts reflexes kicking in) with the bike landing on my back.
The saddle hit me in the rear back (possibly bruising my kidney) and I was literally holding the bike up with my body.

... I went up over my front wheel, it turned 90 degrees with ALL my weight on it and stayed true.
Dude! What a story - hope you have a complete recovery. oppps I guess we hijacked the OP's post
