You want to try to induce rolling as much as possible, but unfortunately unless you practice this stuff mentioned on a daily basis it becomes almost impossible to actually do it in a real life situation.

I try to stay strapped to the bike since coming unstrapped could result in a broken leg or foot. Once you land the bike usually automatically comes unstrapped for you.

My worst bike accident occured while riding it to work on my way to a interview for a better position within the same company. I called them from the hospital and explained the situation then appeared for the interview later that day with my arm in a sling due to a dislocated shoulder and a ripped pair of pants and shirt because I didn't have time to get home to change my clothes! The odd thing was I got the promotion looking like that!!!! The early 80's just seemed a bit more relaxed then today.
