The worst I had was in December 1986.
I was going about 50 when a kid pulled out of a driveway in front of me.
I was well familar with the road and figured I could try to go around behind him. My primary concern was the 300' cliff on the other side. I wasn't so sure about that one.
Luckily, the kid made it a non-issue when his brother (a passenger in the car) yelled, "watch out."
He did not know what he was watching out for, he just slammed on the brakes, effectively cutting off my escape route. I slammed into the left rear corner panel, wedging my left leg/foot between my bike and his car before it launched me into space.
I broke my tibia, fibula, three toes and that big flat bone on the top of your foot (shattered that). I got a permanent disability as a result, which gives me a slight limp after a few days of walking around at Internext.
