Glad to hear that it's all OK.

IMO the takeaway isn't to carry more first aid supplies. It's to accept that discretion trumps valor here, and you need to stop and walk or do the shuffle around that corner.

There's a pedestrian bridge over the tracks on one of my commute routes. The walk is about 4' wide with a full 180 switchback. I can normally do a U-turn within 8', but between the walls on either side, and pole at apex, the actual path is very narrowly defined. I normally can ride it at about 2mph, but I do it the reverse of normal riding, I commit to the inside, ride with the inside foot down. . This way, if I need to dab, my foot is already oriented for it, and the outside foot ready to push me through the rest of the turn. In reality, I probably dab about 25% of the time, not a big deal, since it's in the plan.
