This didnt really make the rounds yet but its a pretty crazy example of the freak accidents that can happen. There is an article and video of it HERE
I almost had that happen to me at a Mammoth race years ago. I jacked my pedal on the rock and went over the bars down a chute. The rock followed and "luckily" landed on my bike instead of me. It scratched and dented my frame and punched a hole in my Boxxer lowers.

And here I thought it was completely a freak accident... I'm hearing a few stories similar to yours.... One of the hazards I guess.
