Yeah that does happen. I think my record may be about 50/50, but I definitely have had some surprise injuries and could-have-been-really-serious moments while just riding along. But I'm not sure I can address that fraction because they do seem so random.
The fraction I can maybe do something about is the fraction where I get in over my head. That's probably 85% a mental achievement, like letting go of ego. But I could see a place for the minimum MTB in that too.
