That happened to me a lot in the first month or so of riding (less now, but still happens). You had a very good reaction tho. After doing that the first time, I had a nice, long, expletive-ridden converation with myself. Of course
my instinct was to jerk the front brake hard, drop both feet to the ground and try my hardest not to add exterior "padding" to my seat.
