Falling object, all directions.
Been riding for over 35 years, many of them on steel rim bikes with rim and/or coaster brakes. I have only had one incident where I had to bail, it was the thorn bush or the back of the garbage truck.
I ride defensively and it has served me well for these many years. I guess you could say I have developed a sixth sense as to what people are going to do. I have had many a car run a red light on me, but I could "feel" it coming and was slowed enough to avoid it being an issue.
