I rolled out of accidents involving a motorcycle, and a horse, Both this summer! (A first for both, not counting the dirtbike)

Right at the moment where I knew I couldn't "pull it out" my training kicked in and told my brain "relax and go with it!" It would have been cooler if I could have ended up in a kneeling position, like I practice, but either way, no damage in either case.

I've rolled in sparring, too, once in a test. Our legs got tangled up, and I was moving forward . . . I came out on one knee, facing my partner, ready to keep going. But he was polite, and waited for me to get up. I was hoping he'd come in, I was all set for a surprise kick for him :)

Just like I said glad to hear the few posters who need the skills that they came to bear and saved you all injuries.
