I remember taking home the USS Enterprise from Star Trek probably in 1967. It was a big box and I had it under my right arm while riding my 10-speed home. My left hand was on the top horizontal part of the handlebars and I didn't have a handbrake within my grasp. I got run to the side of the road, which was a dirt sidewalk and scraped the rose bushes sticking through the fence until I hit a mailbox and fell into the street, landing in the street under the middle of a VW bus. The rear wheel ran over my arm, breaking one of the bones and scraping some of the skin, all the way to the bone at my wrist. The lady loaded me and the bike into the back of the bus along with a baby in a crib and drove me home. I was okay- had a half cast with a bandage wrapped around it for a few weeks. Still have the scar. The model was okay, so I built it.
