First crash, brain decided it didn't want body to bounce and slide and so sent a command for the arm to go stiff and stop the rest of the 150lb body using the flimsy wrist. The wrist spent the next month chewing out the brain for such an idiotic command. The knee got in on the act too since the wrist fracture was minor so the brain needed a big more of a visual.

Second crash, body overrode brain and stayed loose. Ended up just sliding and rolling across the ground (with nice video of the bike doing the same ahead of me) until coming to a stop. Remaining calm and loose and accepting I was just along for the ride let me keep my head about me when it came to the self evaluation before getting up.

Oddly both times i came to a stop face down. Not particularly a view I want, but given the fact that I was seeing and thinking, I'll take whatever I can get after a wreck.
