Some road rash, and bent handle bars but great other than that.
A member of our local club was killed a couple of years ago after a groundhog jumped out in front of him while descending a hill. Don't know how fast he was going, but I hit 43-45 mph on that hill. After hearing about that, I can't not think about it every time I descend that hill.
Squirrels always drive me nuts. They can be 1 foot from the left edge of the road, so close to safety, but do they go left? Noooo.... they have to dash back in front of me.
