Well not a recent story and it wouldn't have been that bad I just got unlucky on how I hit the sidewalk. A car turned down the one-way street I was on the wrong way and I had to bail out of it's path to the left. Before that I had never mastered, let alone even tried to bunny hop over a curb. In that do or die monent, I went for it and successfully avoided the car and managed to get onto the sidewalk but without my bike. I hit the curve, went straight over my bar and landed full weight on my shoulder severely separating it. For some reason, rather than being angry I felt horrifically embarrassed and just jumped back on my bike and took off around the corner where I proceeded to fall off again. After that I just crawled up against a wall and started laughing uncontrollably, my default reaction when something hurts like hell.

Moral of the story, learn how to jump onto a curb ahead of time.
