I've been watching the UCI DH World Cup this year, and I'm amazed at some of the massive crashes. Even more amazing is that most of the riders get back on the bike and race out the rest of the course.
I've been riding for a long time, but I feel for certain that if I endured most of the crashes by the pros, I'd need the airlift out.
Aside from actually avoiding crashing, what techniques do the pros use to avoid injury during a crash? I wear my armor, try to keep my arms in, and to roll with it, but is that all?

I broke/dislocated my right elbow 10 years ago,my cheap federation insurance didn't care that much about me and I was left with a limited arm at the age of 28.
Being fit and knowing how to crash definitly helps,but if you don't have a good doctor to get your 5h1t together,tough luck.
