I've fallen over clipped or strapped in many times over the past 50 years. If you accept you just made a fool of yourself, relax and rotate your knee and elbow out a little so they hit first and keep your hands on the handlebars, not a whole lot happens. A couple of minor bruises. So far, rarely any broken skin. no broken bones, no medical visits, no ongoing issues and no tears. Completely NOT an issue for me even though it happens. Now that may change as I ride into my 70s and 80s. We'll see.
