We were talking (originally) about the 0-speed tip-overs, Like when you roll up to a stop, and then can't get your foot out of the pedal, while the bike slowly tips over, and you go down in a heap like Benny Hill on his tricycle.
I just fell the other day. My bike was stopped, I was trying to get off. My toes were on the ground, my other foot was hooked on the tire as I was trying to get off a really tall object and safely on the ground. I felt my toes on the ground not feel right and my foot hooked on the tire not feel right. Next thing I know I'm on my back and trying to figure out if I hit my head or not because I know my neck bend backwards hard. Zero reaction time to figure out how to fall. Zero sense of time between "not feel right" and wondering if I could get up with at least some amount of dignity.
