While wiggling the front back and forth to avoid putting my feet down, the guy in front of me tapped his brakes hard and I squeezed hard with the wheel turned hard, so up and over I went.
Lesson learned: Put your feet down or use rear brake in this situation. Mostly just use the feet for balance.
Was wearing: Armored leather jacket, chicane gauntlets, boots, and helmet.
The damage
Me) Jacket has light, barely noticeable scuffing (I am more of a roller), gloves are scuffed, boots and helmet didn't touch the ground. Hips hurt, bruised and scuffed but pants didn't tear so, no serious rash.
(Bike)bar end, shifter, kickstand, and tank chip.
All in all, I have a lot to be thankful for. Even at low speed my hand and shoulder would easily be meat if I wasn't wearing anything. I still have a knick on my hand through the glove, I could only imagine if I hadn't been wearing it.
