On the head is much more common from a bicycle accident. If you are going at a decent speed and the bike is stopped suddenly, your legs get brushed up as you go over the handlebars. That starts your body rotating, and landing on the head becomes very likely.
That one did happen to me. Details here,
helmets. It wasn't pretty.
That may be true but landing on your back does happen. It happened to me this week. My CamelBak has the scratches to prove it. I was always nervous putting my iPad in my backpack and I am glad I stopped that practice because it would be a shattered mess now.
Just a forewarning.
