Tip 1: make sure you only fall when going either faster than 30 kph or
slower than 30 kph but definitely not at 30 kph. Reason is twofold:

will make you fly over the bars, slower and you fall sideways; at 30
kph you will slam into the bars just as they are planted into the
ground. Bruised ribs will make you hurt for weeks.
