This has taught me (antifreeze) that when riding at night when the road surface is difficult to determine, make sure that you ride well within the limits of grip and leave lots of headroom to deal with a sudden unanticipated loss of traction.
This has taught me (sand) that when riding on cold tires and cold roads early in the season, there is less grip and smaller things than you think can result in a loss of traction.
Both have confirmed for me that quality gear and wearing it every ride can go a long way to preventing and lessening injuries.
