I would sgree with that sentiment. I was dumped off a horse that went down on its knees, and jolted me off balance.
When it got up and continued to gallop with me hanging on to the side of her neck like a limpet, the decision to allow my self to be discarded
before I ended up under its neck seemed the beter part of valour. The thought of it tripping over me seemed a less atractive choice
than the loss of pride from a fall.....wasn't too far at that point any way.
But a couple of more options for grabbing onto (plus a bit more horse savvy) probably would have allowed me to regain my seat.
