Thanks, Misti, for picking up on both ends of the issue.

When I have this conversation, quite often people hear "crashing is not inevitable" and respond to that, but tune out before "sure crashes happen and it could happen to me too."

I agree that yeah... it IS a big deal and a chance to learn. Hell, every single time I ride is a chance to learn. That's why I like riding so much; it engages my brain in all kinds of ways, all the time.
