I find the hardest situations are the ones where you go over the bars at
speed. Those the ones with the steepest consequences for neck and head. I
always have one thing in my head at those moments to guide my survival. PUNCH!
As soon as I realize I am going over the bars, I try to punch…doesn't matter
which hand…just a punch across my path of trajectory. My goal here is to get
my arm in front of me, but not in a stuck-out straight position. Instead, I
want to follow through like a typical "cowboy bar-room" punch. This naturally
puts me into a roll to that I can tumble out of trouble and eventually get my
feet in front of me, instead of lawn-darting, doing a scorpion, or other
undesired outcomes. This tactic has gotten me out of trouble many many times.
Yes, I have very little original flesh left on my elbows, but head and spine
are mostly intact. Punch!!!!
