Chain snappage, to smashing your balls on the stem, then going over the bars
and going for a bunnyhop, catching the back wheel and going over the bars

I think I was lucky, the one time that I snapped my chain was during a preride before an XC race. I was hauling through a flat, straight stretch, and SNAP! But Nothing happened, I just stopped and fixed it.

I'm scared of being gouged by a mating elk when out for a simple trail ride. It doesn't have to be a mating elk, any gouging at all while riding scares me a lot.

You can blame your pedals Wink

That being said, I've never slipped on mine so I havent been able to gouge myself.

Big gaps on the pro sets on bmx tracks, that happen to have no forgiveness that are also 30 + feet.

Oh, and riding on the edge of a giant cliff. Shits scary too.

I hate forgetting how much speed you need for a jump or drop or something...
