Thankfully, as in your case, I was not hurt. I rode my scooter 22, 000 miles in the past year, on a trip to promote Peace. It was fully loaded with gear. The first time that I dropped it I couldn't get it up alone and had to sit there waiting, alone, on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I suppose I developed muscles from riding--by the end of the trip I could pick it up all alone!!! You did the right thing by waiting until your heart beat slowed down a little. Many people feel embarrassed and try to get right back on the bike and zip away. At that point, they are more likely to hurt themselves.
