This seems to be happening to me quite often lately; yesterday being the latest episode. I would rather fall while stopped and get small bumps and bruises than when I'm moving and get larger ones.
I once had a ped walk into me (walking backwards) while I waited for a crowd to come through a gate on a trail with one foot unclipped on the ground. Naturally he knocked me over onto the clipped side. No "sorry", just walked away leaving me to wipe the blood off of one knee.
