ouch i've done that, took a turn to wide and had to jump over the sidewalk and took like 3 big gnarly steps then slid on my arm and side through rough grass that had a bunch of sticks in it

thats why you work your way up the hill little by little and with a helmet,and probably it felt like 30 but you were doing 15mph.

Just once??? ####, I couldn't tell you how many times bailed at actually 30-35 mph. Enough to get permanent damage in some joints. Osgood-Schlatter disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flex, loose trucks, and higher center of gravity = bad for DH.
