That happened to me once in Puerto Rico.. A buddy and I had rented a small motorcycle and went up into the mountains. He wanted to drive back and I was stupid enough to let him. We were coming down a mountain and came to a tight outside curve and he didn't pony up enough balls to turn tight enough and was headed for the edge, so at what I figured was the last moment, I baled off. My pushing off the back of the seat was just enough to kick the bike into the turn and he made it! I ended up rolling in the dirt! Luckily I was young (and when you are young you are bullet-proof - right?) so I didn't die.
