I hope you came out of that okay. Looks like that could have nasty consequences!

No clue! It happened about 2 years ago...I went over the bars suddenly after rounding a corner on a bike path, and got up to see the bike looking like that. I was on my way to a morning meeting at work, and ended up having a housemate come pick me up and take me the rest of the work. Between the meeting and my actual shift, I took public transportation home, grabbed my other bike, and rode back in!
