When i was younger, around 17 I had a nasty crash.
I came around a bend to fast on a friends bike. So I did what I thought was right, I leaned in more and slowed down. Well turned out that I was wrong. I pegged out and low sided.
Now if that was it it would be OK. But I refused to give up The bike and held on thinking I could muscle the thing back up right. It dragged me into the ditch and pitched me off into the woods where I landed in a barbed wire fence with the post inches from my face. I survived with a lot of road rash, a broken rib and I five mile stare for a few days.
So from then on when I feel that things have gotten to the point where I'm going down I push off from the bike.
Idk if it is the right thing to do but I also know that sliding down the road at 40 Is bad enough without a pissed off motorcycle bouncing right next to you.
