I HAVE!!!
Where I live there is a huge bank with a a high curb to jump off at the bottom.
I was 12 and it was my 1st year of mountain biking.
I was trying to attempt a mere bunny hop off the curb but when I launched myself off the curb I realised I was not going to land on both wheels evenly and through lack of experience pushed my wait forward throwing me over the handle bars landing on a concrete road head first!!!:bigcry:
I also held onto my bike so after hitting the ground,and then eroding my chin for a bit the bike landed on top of me!
When I recovered and went to re-build my confidence by riding my bike I realised that the impact of the ground had knackered my rapid-fire gear changers!!!
