I have the same mentality as with skateboarding, snowboarding, and mountain biking. Chill the **** out and let it happen because there isn't **** you can do about it once you've lost it. This includes not putting your hands out to try to stop yourself since then you'll break your wrists. Being relaxed is important as it is easier for bones to break when your own muscles are already putting strain on them. Really how the crash pans out comes down to how lucky you are. If you don't hit anything and were wearing gear you should be fine, and if you do then ouch hope you're still around.

I fully sympathize with the helmet ideology, I paid almost double for my helmet as compared to my full leather racing suit and that may well hold up to be useful after a crash depending how it goes.
