I haven't been in an accident but came damn close. It seemed to go into slow motion.

I was riding too hard on a road I had never taken before. The turn was a right hander at the bottom of a hill that went up to the top of the hill and cut back left as soon as you crest. I got to the top of the hill expecting it to straighten out or keep turning, got tunnel vision to the right side of the road. I went off of the road about a foot and a half into some 3 foot tall weeds, with the ditch about another foot to my right, but felt like I couldn't do anything about it. I knew I had tunnel vision as I went into a tank slapper about about 70 mph. My only thought was to break it, so i looked as far as i could to my left. At about 40 mph i started accelerating again and pulled out of the tank slapper and back onto the road. I was in my onesy, so I was confident my body would be alright. Scared the shit out of me though.
