I have done a dismount like that at that point .... I recall everything going into slow motion and while tucking and rolling I saw the bike cartwheeling down the trail and being very fascinated by how far and many times the bike managed to cartwheel.

The same could be said about rear suspension, front suspension, 22 different gear possibilities etc. This is an old argument.
