Well, if I'd known my arms were broken, I wouldn't have ridden home ;-)

Personally, while I mostly thought of it as a freak accident, I did somewhat blame the jogger who didn't keep a flexi-lead locked down while jogging on the road. Could as easily have seen their dog run under a bus or make some motorist swerve off the road. But I assume it was an accident, and the dog was seriously injured, possibly killed, so it's not anything I'd pursue. Sometimes, accidents really do happen.
