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

Depends on how nitty about the definition of prevented is. I was riding an older motorcyle ('72 Honda CB 350 ftw) 6 years ago when, unbeknownst to me, a gasket on one of the cases went coating my back tire in engine oil. The first corner I attempted to make the rear tire just washed out and I went down at 35 MPH.
I guess the accident could have been prevented by replacing the gasket prior to riding, but I had no idea it was in bad shape.
