does anyone have any real advice as to how to protect yourself when falling.

I'm a big proponent of planning out things in your head before they happen so you can execute them quickly and effectively. So I'm wondering today (after my first fall since I was a kid on a bike) does anyone have any real advice on how to fall safely without breaking your wrists or face or anything?

I caught myself on my wrists instinctively but as I was going down I thought to myself this may not be the best way to deflect injuries...and I may hurt my wrists. So now my wrist hurts and I'm wondering how to fall better.

Advice please.
