Proactive action is a much better option than dealing with the prospect of a crash, so be aware and ride safer and smarter, as suggested above, to lessen those crash chances tenfold! Then there’s the yeah, ok, it’s never going to happen to me… but hey, it happens to other people every day, so why not you?
