good, maybe that saved your life. and your example is useful to others on GFY considering buying a bike.
protect the complete body, especially when riding sport.
gloves, reinforced pants, real motorcycle boots.
and getoffs like this would be mostly a non event.
glad you are ok. don't hotdog and follow too close. if the car in front of you has to panic brake for anything (deer crossing road, etc.) you are going to get hurt. the physics of riding on the street with cars is very dangerous, always has been, always will be. protect yourself, leave yourself an out.
i was a young sport biker also. wild sometimes like you. i was lucky. now learn from this getoff and get riding again.
