Oops, that hurt! Reading your post reminded me of how I learned to ride a bike. We lived in a small hill, and I used it as a boost to pedal. I only fell once and hurt my knee. I didn't pedal for several days, but then I got back to it, even though I knew there was a high chance of falling again. The adrenaline and energy of youth don't see any danger. I think those experiences are part of growing up and maturing.
Cheers!
