Yeah, I went down on some sand along a trail when I was in Cape Cod a few years ago. The first bad part was that it was near a parking lot, so all kinds of civilians saw me do it. The second bad part was that I was banged up and it was rather unsightly. Nothing serious, but a fair amount of blood. I found a life guard station and they helped me out with their first aid kit.
In all, it was a totally embarrassing experience. Beware of sand.
Drive train? Well, it was a rental.
