Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Nothing.

I try to avoid crashing or falling, though, of course, stuff happens. However, through 50+ years and well over 100k miles I've managed to limit my injuries to lost skin (sometimes, lots of lost skin). I did break my big toe riding, but that was at home riding rollers so I don't count it.

Yes, it's possible to be seriously injured on a bike, but with decent riding skill and good habits, the odds for a long and safe riding career are in your favor.
