My only serious accident, I hit the back of a car stopped in the bike lane at pretty high speed. Somehow I got myself twisted sideways and broke my upper arm in two on the lip of the trunk. I consider it a successful crash as I didn't fly over the car or through the rear window to who knows what damage. Even better, I saved my frame and the only damage to my bike was a toasted rear wheel. Now, if I had had the bike handling skills of Sagan, I probably could have jumped the curb and avoided an accident altogether. The fact that I don't have the skills doesn't mean it makes no sense.
