Funny thing is the ATGATT guys are likely under-represented in crashes because they think ahead anyways. Joe flip-flops is still in the indestructible phase, and the manner they choose to ride the bike is often as reckless as the decisions on gear. But it's still a free country so live and let live.
I went down once... as I was approaching a stopped car on the shoulder, the (lost) driver whipped out to do a u-turn ahead of some oncoming traffic. Rossi might not have hit her but I sure did, or better said the bike did. I went right over the car and tumbled, slid, flopped to a stop from about 40MPH. Not a scratch other than a broken thumb somehow. As the saying goes, the equipment seems expensive until you check the price of skin grafts.
