Has anyone here been in a motorcycle accident they truly believe they could not have prevented?

I've been in two that I could not have prevented. The first I was riding slowly down a wet street at night, doing maybe 30. It hadn't rained for a long while and the roads was greasy. My handlebars began girating wildly without warning and the next thing I knew I was sliding down the street on my hands without any gloves on. I had been riding in a straight line at the time. Got up without a scratch.
Second time I was on a dirt road with a passenger. Coming around a blind corner I met a car that was going way too fast in the middle of the road. I took the bike straight off the road at the corner and slid down a small ravine. Once again not a scratch to either of us but the bike was not happy. Neither was I.
