Hanuman, could it not also have been avoided if you had both been riding more slowly? Unfortunately, the path is as it is...as my driving instructor said to me years ago, every time I began to moan about something or someone else on the road, as an excuse for something I had done wrong "You must drive appropriately for the conditions as they are, not as you would like them to be"
If you were going fast enough for a "spectacular" crash, and don't really want to moderate your speed, then try the road alternative.
