5 years ago I was sitting around with 10 of my riding buddies. I said "sooner or later, every one of you is going down." It was not a popular statement and got mostly laughed off. The cockiest of those guys said he was too skilled to allow that to happen.
As of 2016, every single one of the guys in that group has gone down at least once. A few of them more than once.
It sucks being right. Ignorance isn't going to keep you upright. Sorry buddy but your time is coming too, and it has nothing to do with talking about it, expecting it, training for it or trying to avoid it. The best you can do is gear up and have good health insurance.
ps. I'll take the blame if you crash tomorrow.
