If you endo during a panic stop you don't know how to ride. Put your ass back in the saddle and brake straight.

(if you brake, skid, hop etc. hard in a turn you will fall, single track riding 101. Flamers please note I said "hard" as in panic-stop, the type of stopping that really matters. You can get away with a lot of things when you are not approaching the traction limits of your tires, but when you brake and turn you effectively double the load. I dare you, go out an try it, get up to speed, take a turn and try and stop,... see what happens)
