Ok.  I am probably way behind on this thread, but it has been flooding here 
and I am treating my horse for a hoof abcess, so I have excuses.  :)

Anyway, last time I came off my horse (which I try to do once every 9 years 
- though this statistic has not been fully tested since I have only had him 
for 10 years) I remember thinking it was going to hurt.  I also remember 
thinking that if I could hold on for one more second I could hit the mud 
instead of the gravel and that if I held on for two more seconds I would hit 
the tree instead of the mud.  I managed to control the fall enough to hit 
the mud and realized then that one of the most important things I had 
learned about working with horses.  It is best to not fall off, but if that 
moment comes, knowing how to fall well is invaluable.

teleport)
