 My first wreck on my first bike got me my first broken nose when a
fire hydrant got in the way of my head while I was sliding on the ground.
My friends second wreck on his Xth bike nearly removed his chin. Another
friends Xth wreck on his first dirt bike nearly removed the upper layers of
skin from his face. Another friend was a passenger on a bike when the driver
decided to try to climb a guide cable. His face required cosmetic surgery.
 This leaves about four people that I know well who haven't landed on their
faces yet who ride bikes. So, this leaves me to conclude:

1) New Mexico dirt has a great affection for that part of the head called
the face.

2) That the "odds are you won't land on your face" side of this argument
is a pretty dangerous assumption. Or to take you back to your first
philosophy class. "Nobody has seen a black swan so it doesn't exist."
