I washed out front wheel on a slight corner on a thin layer of slick mud and like you I hit the ground in a split second. I broke a rib and after healing it took me couple weeks to get my nerve back. I had too much weight on my hands and used front brake going into turn so technique was a factor, but tires with some tread will help. I crashed on schwalbe pro-one 700x25c tires, which are virtually treadless, and now I run schwalbe g-one speed 700x30c which have some tread and I love them.
