Last May on one of my favorite rides (Route 40 in VA) I got in some gravel in a sharp turn, went over a hill and hit some small trees. Went over the bars, got up, took my helmet off, left arm looked like a banana. Broken forearm, dislocated elbow, didn't ride again until August. Scariest part was I couldn't move any of my fingers until about November, came back slow but it seems as good as new now. I should have slowed down, I had already dodged some gravel before I wrecked, VDOT likes to build up the road shoulders with gravel, got caught up in the ride and screwed up. ATGATT! Bike came through in good shape, scratched the fender, wind screen, lost the outer lens on front turn signal, all replaced now. These bikes are tough.
