I had it happen to me one time so hard that the handlebar left my hand and then slammed back into it so hard my wrist was injured. Not sure how I didnt crash but it just sorted itself somehow.
You went through a situation that was far worse than mine. Do you think additional speed would have helped? I'm certain, 40 years after my experience, additional speed would have turned a difficult situation into a tragedy.
