In all seriousness, I would highly recommend removing the crankset from your bike, lowering the seat, and use it like a Strider. My 3 year old has logged many rides on his Strider and handled some serious terrain without a wreck.
Also, if you're piss-poorly rounding these corners and overshooting, carry a business card with the link to this thread. Once you come in contact with a vehicle, give the card to the driver to help their claim against your reckless behavior so you may fix their vehicle. Its the least you can do.
And...Use your brakes. Thank God your bike is only human powered!
