Hope you came out of it okay. You didn't mention any injuries, so I'll make the assumption that your tights saved you from road rash, etc.

Yeah, you're right as far as scratches being looked at differently if they happened during a crash. When I crashed, I was just relieved that damage was a few scratches to components and a little bit more to the end of my handlebars and the back of my seat. I just wanted my baby to come out of the crash still in good operating condition.
