The trouble I've had even picking mine up after I've skidded or just dropped the sodding things.. That video just horrified me as to how badly that could have gone wrong if a rung had given way.
In NI, I skidded on the red stones which highlight hazards, like crossings or traffic lights. When wet, the sodding things arse more of a hazard than the lights I was coming up to. Nevertheless.. I was sitting on my arse in traffic counting I hadn't any more bones than I'd started off with; until I realised I was sitting on the road in traffic. So I grabbed the bike, hauled it upright and went off. Only about 2-3 minutes later (the length of time adrenaline exists in your blood) did I realise my panicked hulk power had just power lifted the bike upright and I'd torn every muscle in my back.

These days, lifting bikes.. paranoia.
