I think lucky is the key word here. This is the same guy who went down navigating an innocuous corner in a parking lot at about 4 miles an hour, most likely do to ill-timed panic braking and a less than perfectly clean road surface. I guess the good news is I've apparently learned not to panic brake. Going to take a lot of effort to re-train myself to routinely use both brakes.

Keep an eye out for garbage, and if you find your wheel sliding on it, use the brakes on the other wheel.
