Have a mind set of hitting the obstracle(unless its a 4 wheeler ), it helps you keep your bike straight and its the best chance you have to stop your bike, if the bike is tilted it will fall down for sure.
Not a necessary rule. My accident with another bike caused my right arm a fracture...

I believe if I would have leaned I wouldn't have crashed so damn hard on the road. In fact, I rode straight without leaning, and was catapulted over the bike at god knows what height, straight onto the !!HARD!! road.

Leaning would have caused some different ragdoll physics & might have saved my right arm...

@ pickandwhammy: I could recall only 3 stages:-->

1. Accident Stage, when you're almost shocked and unconscious...
2. Regain senses, & understand that you had an accident...
3. Account & count your injuries, that's when you know if you have a fracture or not...
