It doesn't matter how good and safe you ride, accidents are always prone to happen. I realized it only when a hook (which is on the side of the truck) tore off my left ear! Sticking on to Sunny's commandment, I am not going to write an essay on my own crashes!

If you fall - slide yourself
Don't try to stop yourself from sliding. Some bruises are always better than broken bones.

Wear proper gear. Better safe than sorry!
Don't ride without lid even if you are riding to the shop which is next to your home. If you can't wear a lid, just walk. Its good for your health.

Don't panic.
Don't panic in case of a fall. Make sure you are OK before trying to get up.

Don't remove your helmets immediately.

Visit a doctor at the earliest.
Visiting the doctor at the earliest makes you feel better and recover fast from the shock or the injuries.
